The Congress and the BJP continued to exchange barbs over the Rafale aircraft deal yesterday with Rahul Gandhi accusing the prime minister of allegedly changing the "entire deal" to benefit a businessman, a charge debunked by the ruling party. The Congress vice president also asked why no questions were posed to Prime Minister Narendra Modi on BJP president Amit Shah's son Jay, whose company his party alleged, has witnessed a quantum jump in turnover since the Modi government came to power.

"You ask me so many questions and I answer all of them. I want to ask you, why don't you question Prime Minister Modi on the Rafale deal? Why don't you ask about Amit Shah's son? "Why don't you question the prime minister who changed the entire Rafale deal to help a businessman?" he asked. Responding to Gandhi, senior BJP leader Ravi Shankar Prasad said the Congress is reminded of its rule when it rakes up such an issue. "They are finding it difficult to accept that there has been no case of corruption in the three-year rule of the Narendra Modi government," Prasad, who was briefing reporters on cabinet decisions, said when asked about allegations levelled by Gandhi.
