Gandhi said more facts on Rafale deal will be out

Gandhi's attack came as part of a continued onslaught on the Modi government over the alleged corruption and favoritism in the Rafale fighter jet deal. He added yesterday that more facts on the deal will be out soon while telling that several youths lost their jobs as a related contract went to the Reliance Group rather than the state-run Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL).
