The Hindu
The BSP believes that it would be better if the Centre puts an end to this issue by settling the Rafale dispute according to public satisfaction,” the former Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister said.
Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) chief Mayawati on Monday said that Centre should take cognisance of the alleged “corruption” in the Rafale deal. “The news of a judicial inquiry set up by the French government on allegations of corruption in the purchase of Rafale fighter jets by the Indian government has made headlines again and is the subject of public discussions. It would be better if the central government also takes proper cognisance of it,” Mayawati said in a tweet in Hindi. “However, the allegations of commission in defence deals and its investigation are not new. It is an old burning issue since the time of the Congress government. The BSP believes that it would be better if the present government at the Centre puts an end to this issue by settling the Rafale dispute according to public satisfaction,” the former Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister added.
