 "Rafale deal: 'When will he know?' Jaitley mocks Rahul over his 'knowledge'")
Taking a dig at Congress President Rahul Gandhi over Rafale controversy, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley Wednesday said it was foolish to compare prices of a simple flyaway aircraft with a weaponised jet.
In a series of tweets, Jaitley questioned the knowledge of Gandhi saying "How much does he know? When will he know?"
"Even a fool will not compare prices of a simple flyaway Aircraft with a weaponised Jet," Jaitley said.
He further said that even in the offer made to the UPA government there were two different prices -- one of the flyaway aircraft and the offer of the weaponised aircraft.
Jaitley also accused the Congress of comparing "two unequals" and calling it a 'scam'.
