  • The Congress said Gandhi’s oft-repeated allegations of corruption in the deal were proved correct after the French media report.”Karma = The ledger of one’s actions. Nobody escapes it. #Rafale,” Gandhi said on Twitter. He also put out a similar tweet in Hindi.The Congress had made a big issue of the Rafale deal in the 2019 Lok Sabha polls but lost the elections badly.
