New Delhi: The Congress Party on Wednesday alleged corruption and malfeasance in the Rafale jet deal and said the time had come to lodge an FIR against Prime Minister Narendra Modi. “The corruption and malfeasance in the Rafale deal is out in the open. PM Modi misused his office to give benefits to Dassault Aviation and caused losses to the public exchequer,” Congress’ chief spokesperson Randeep Surjewala told reporters.

“It is now crystal clear that blatant and massive corruption has taken place in the Rafale deal. It is undoubtedly established that Mr Modi misused his office as Prime Minister to grant undue benefit to Dassault Aviation and caused a loss to public exchequer,” he said.
