100 days are left for general elections and it’s clear that for the congress party. Fresh from its recent poll successes in Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh will make Rafale as its calling card. Escalating his attack on the Prime Minister, a very combative Rahul Gandhi today said the entire process of procurement is under doubt. Repeating his earlier allegations regarding the purchase of 36 Rafale jets, Rahul Gandhi asked if the IAF had asked for the contract to be reduced from 126 to 36. Once again dragging the forces in the controversy and despite the SC verdict clearly saying that the material evidence does not point to commercial favoritism. The Rafale is far from over and likely to dominate political discourse in 2019 but the BJP has been clear on its rebuttal. Reminding the congress about its alleged role in AgustaWestlandsand, Bofors and national herald. The big question is how shrill will this narrative get from here and what will the electorate find favor with.
