New Delhi: Congress general secretary Digvijaya Singh on Saturday dared BJP leader Subramanian Swamy to move court over the Rafale deal a day after the latter threatened to take legal recourse claiming that there were shortcomings in the fighter aircraft.
"I dare Subramanian Swamy to go to court on Rafale Jet purchase," Singh said in a tweet, a day after Swamy threatened to take legal recourse if the government went ahead with Rafale jet deal with France saying there were shortcomings in the fighter aircraft.
Swamy, a national executive member of BJP, had requested Prime Minister Narendra Modi not to go ahead with the Rafale deal, which was negotiated by the erstwhile UPA government.
The performance of the French jet "turned out to be worst of all the aircraft" in Libya and Egypt, he claimed and said, "If the Prime Minister for some other 'compulsion' decides to go ahead with the deal, I will have no option but to approach the court in PIL to get it set aside."
