Congress Party has accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of corruption in choosing company as a domestic partner in the deal to buy aircraft from Dassault Aviation
New Delhi — A French media report linking a tax exemption given to a French subsidiary of India’s Reliance Group and an $8.7bn fighter jet deal between the two countries is “totally inaccurate”, India says.
India’s ministry of defence said on Saturday the report was drawing a conjectural connection between the tax relief and the jet deal. “Any connection drawn between the tax issue and the Rafale matter is totally inaccurate, tendentious and is a mischievous attempt to disinform.” “This settlement was conducted in full adherence with the legislative and regulatory framework governing this common practice of the tax administration,” he said on Twitter.India’s main opposition Congress Party has for months accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of corruption in choosing Reliance Defence as a domestic partner in the deal to buy 36 Rafale aircraft from France’s Dassault Aviation.
