During a debate on the Rafale deal in Parliament, Congress President Rahul Gandhi said, "Jab humne yeh mudda pehli baar uthaya, humko laga daal mein kuch kaala hai...Do saal baad pata chala, puri daal hi kaali hai." Demanding a Joint Parliamentary Committee probe, Rahul claimed PM Narendra Modi had "bypassed the entire procedure" and taken away employment from HAL workers.
