The Congress president has been repeatedly accusing the Narendra Modi government of weakening public sector undertaking Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) and destroying India’s strategic capability to benefit industrialist Anil Ambani.
He said available documents in the public domain raised serious suspicious circumstances of the intention of Rahul Gandhi and Congress.
“When you tell one lie, you need to keep spinning out more lies, to cover up the first one. In her eagerness to defend the PM's Rafale lie, the RM lied to Parliament. Tomorrow, RM must place before Parliament documents showing 1 Lakh crore of Govt orders to HAL. Or resign,” tweeted Gandhi.

By repeating his allegations, Rahul is trying hard so that at least one corruption charge against the Modi government could stick.
Rahul Gandhi's attack came a day after he said Modi faced an open book exam on the deal in Parliament and asked if he will show up at the exam or send a proxy.
