Inquiry into missing Rafale files should begin with Goa CM: Rahul Gandhi

Panaji, Mar 8 (UNI): Congress president Rahul Gandhi on Friday said the investigation into the files which, according to the government, had gone missing should start with Goa chief minister Manohar Parrikar, who also happens to be former defence minister of the country.

Addressing meeting of booth members meeting at Dr Shyama Prasad Mukherjee Stadium at Taleigao near the city, Rahul said: "You want to start an inquiry, then start the inquiry with Parrikar. Parrikar said clearly in the cabinet that it is taped, that the Rafale files are with me, and Narendra Modi cannot remove me as Goa chief minister because the day he does that, I will bring out the Rafale files in the open."

The Congress president also alleged that it wasn't just the Rafael files that were missing. The government was missing from the state!

"But not just files are missing. Goa government is missing," he said.

The Opposition Congress had been demanding resignation of chief minister Manohar Parrikar claiming there was no governance in the state due to the ill health of the chief minister.
