Rahul Gandhi dares Modi to debate on corruption

Amethi, Apr 10 (UNI) Congress president Rahul Gandhi, in the backdrop of the Supreme Court's Wednesday ruling on "PM Narendra Modi" biopic, has thrown an “open book” challenge to Mr Modi inviting him for a debate on corruption.

Taking a jibe at PM Modi saying that he is “scared”, Gandhi listed three topics for a political debate. "Dear PM, scared of debating me on corruption? I can make it easier for you. Let’s go open book, so you can prepare: 1. RAFALE+Anil Ambani, 2. Nirav Modi, 3. Amit Shah+Demonetisation.”

"I am thankful to the Supreme Court for accepting the Rafale deal case and thus order vindicates our allegation that Chowkidar chori ki hai," he said.

Mr Gandhi, after filing his nomination papers from Amethi Lok Sabha seat on Wednesday, also made it clear before the public that there was corruption involved in the Rafale deal.

Reiterating and questioning PM Modi why he was afraid of debating with him on Rafale if there was no corruption, the Congress president alleged that a company was benefited Rs 30,000 crores through this deal by the PM.

Later, Mr Gandhi left for campaigning in Bihar and West Bengal and is likely to return back to Rae Bareli in the night for joining the nomination process of his mother Sonia Gandhi on Thursday.

ON his Facebook page, Rahul Gandhi wrote that he was filing his nomination from his home city Amethi.

Earlier on April 4, he had filed his nominations from Wayanad in Kerala.
