Why not one Rafale jet inducted during your rule, Mayawati asks Modi

Deccan Chronicle  

Lucknow: Attacking Prime Minister Narendra Modi for saying Rafale jets could have given better results for India in hitting a Jaish camp in Pakistan, BSP chief Mayawati Monday asked the BJP government at the Centre why not a single Rafale fighter was inducted in the IAF during its rule. "Rafale fighter could have prove useful in fight against Pakistan, claims PM Modi in his rallies. Last week after the Indian Air Force struck a Jaish-e-Mohammad camp in Balakot, about 80 km from the Line of Control in Jammu and Kashmir, Prime Minister Modi said, "Rafale fighters could have delivered even better results". Modi had also said the Rafale jet deal was not finalised by the previous government "for vested interests and now an effort is on to hamper it for political reasons."
