Modi's personal culpability in Rafale scam: Shourie, Sinha
New Delhi, Sep 11: Alleging Narendra Modi's "personal culpability" in the Rafale jet deal, former BJP ministers Yashwant Sinha and Arun Shourie on Tuesday indicted the Prime Minister for "compromising national security" by unilaterally finalising the deal, jettisoning every rule of defence procurement.
Addressing a media conference here, both Sinha and Shourie said the government has "spun a web of lies to protect Modi's culpability in the largest defence scam" the country has ever seen.
"Every explanation they put out ensnares the government in the web of lies they have spun. This means they have a lot to hide," said Shourie.
He said Modi had no authority to overturn the UPA deal that had been a tedious exercise by the people concerned and was a result of 7-8 years of toil.

Kolkata (PTI): BJP’s Suvendu Adhikari defeated West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee in the prestigious Bhabanipur seat by a margin of 15,105 votes on Monday, the EC said.
While Adhikari bagged 73,917 votes, Banerjee secured 58,812 votes.
The result marks a virtual “action replay” of the 2021 Nandigram battle, where Adhikari had unseated Banerjee in a fiercely fought contest that redefined Bengal’s political narrative.
