Raj BJP holds protest against Rahul Gandhi

Rajasthan BJP workers staged a protest against Congress president Rahul Gandhi for making "unrestrained statements" on the Rafale aircraft deal and submitted a memorandum to the district collector.

"Rafale aircraft purchase issue had come in 2001 but the Congress kept dilly-dallying the matter, but the BJP government took a positive step and completed the process in a transparent manner," BJP district president Sanjay Jain said in a statement.

He said that it was unfortunate that the Congress president did a "vicious propaganda" against the deal for "his political gains".

Rajasthan deputy chief minister Sachin Pilot said the BJP's protest reflects its frustration.
