BJP continues protest in Rajasthan over Rahul Gandhi's remarks on Rafale deal

Rajasthan BJP workers staged a protest against Congress president Rahul Gandhi for making "unrestrained statements" on the Rafale aircraft deal and submitted a memorandum to the district collector.

"Rafale aircraft purchase issue had come in 2001 but the Congress kept dilly-dallying the matter, but the BJP government took a positive step and completed the process in a transparent manner," BJP district president Sanjay Jain said in a statement.

He said that it was unfortunate that the Congress president did "vicious propaganda" against the deal for "his political gains".

Rajasthan deputy chief minister Sachin Pilot said the BJP's protest reflects its frustration.
