Congress always kept dynasty’s interest over national interest: Modi

Amethi:Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday lashed out at the previous Congress governments, alleging that they kept the defence forces exposed to the enemy’s bullets for several years on failing to get commissions in defence deals and to protect the “dynasty”.
“They always put personal interest over national interest,” he said.
Addressing a public rally here after inaugurating and laying foundation stones of various projects worth Rs 538 crore, Modi stressed how efforts to get the Indian Air Force state-of-art fighter jets in form of Rafale were delayed and blocked by the Congress.
“As we expedite the process, the first Rafale jets will be in Indian skies soon,” the Prime Minister said while charging the Congress with spreading falsehoods about the Rafale deal.
“Every one from the Supreme Court to the CAG have cleared the deal as one which is transparent and in national interest… (but) some people were still spreading misinformation… the dismay of not getting their cuts and commissions in defence deals is writ large on their faces,” he said.
Tearing into Congress President and local MP Rahul Gandhi, though without specifically naming him, the Prime Minister said between 2009 to 2014, demands of providing 1.86 lakh bulletproof jackers for defence forces was neglected.
