Union Finance Minister Arun Jaitley today hit back at Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi for questioning the Rafale fighter aircraft deal, saying unlike during Congress regimes when middlemen ruled the roost, there was no “Quattrocchi” in the contract for the fighter jet.

Jaitley, who is the BJP’s election in-charge for Gujarat, was referring to Ottavio Quattrocchi, the Italian businessman believed to be involved in the Bofors scam which came to light when Rajiv Gandhi was prime minister.

“It (Rafale deal) was a government-to-government transaction, between two governments. It wasn’t like what used to happen during Congress governments when middlemen used to be there in every transaction. There wasn’t any Quattrocchi in this transaction,” Jaitley told reporters here.

The Rafale deal was made to boost the combat ability of the Indian Air Force, he said.

“I wonder why the Congress leader is raising this issue now, as the transaction was done almost two-and-a-half years back. The very fact that it is being raised after two-and-a-half years indicates it is a motivated campaign linked to the election,” Jaitley said.

Responding to Gandhi’s allegation that

a certain industrialist was favoured and due procedures were not followed, Jaitley implied that Gandhi may not understand such issues because he has no experience.

“Since it was a government-to-government transaction, the procedure was different. Another procedure is of tendering. He (Rahul Gandhi) is not having any experience of running a government. And, it is up to the company (Rafale) to choose its partner (in India). Government of India does not decide that,” Jaitley said.

Rahul Gandhi today alleged that Prime Minister Narendra Modi did not want the “truth” behind the multi-crore Rafale deal to come out before the Assembly election, therefore delayed the winter session of Parliament.

“I would ask Modiji three questions. First, is there a difference in the cost of planes in the first and the second contracts (signed with the French firm) and did India pay more or less money as per the second contract?

“And, has the industrialist (whose company has formed a joint venture with the French firm), who was given the contract, ever manufactured planes?” Gandhi asked while addressing a rally in Gandhinagar district in the morning.

“And a more important question, did you follow the due government procedure? Why was the (then) defence minister seen catching fish in Goa? And, was an approval from the Cabinet Committee on Security taken (for the mega-deal)?” he asked.

Meanwhile, responding to the Congress vice president’s Twitter jibe at Modi over the release of Mumbai terror attack mastermind Hafiz Saeed in Pakistan, Jaitley advised Gandhi to refrain from such “immature behaviour”.

“He is a big leader and such immature behaviour and use of such immature words do not suit him,” Jaitley said.
