Rahul Gandhi attacks govt on Rafale jet deal

New Delhi: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday took a swipe at the government over the Rafale fighter jet deal, saying karma is the ledger of one's action and no one can escape it.
He said this after a French media report claimed that 1.1 million Euros was paid to a "middleman" by the aircraft manufacturer, a charge that was denied by the BJP as baseless.
Gandhi has been alleging that commissions have been paid in the Rafale deal, which the government has denied.
