Have just 4 questions to ask Modi: Rahul invites PM to debate on corruption

Congress president Rahul Gandhi Friday dared Narendra Modi to a debate on corruption, saying he has just four questions to ask which the prime minister will not be able to answer.

The Congress president threw the challenge on the last day of electioneering while addressing a public meeting at Solan police ground in support of his party's Shimla candidate, Solan MLA Dhani Ram Shandil.

"I am ready to engage in debate with Modi on corruption at any place," he said.

"Give me 15 minutes, I will ask only four questions. And Modi may take three-four hours to answer. He will not be able to show his face to citizens of the country after the debate," he added.

Reiterating his allegations of corruption in Rafale fighter jet deal, Rahul Gandhi said the government struck an overpriced deal for the jets to benefit Anil Ambani.

Criticising Modi on demonetisation and the Goods and Services Tax (GST), the Congress president said, "The countrymen say Modi committed mistakes by implementing demonetisation and GST but Modi will never admit it."
