In less than 24 hours of targetting Prime Minister Narendra Modi over Rafale deal with a jibe that Goa Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar has “secrets” that “give him power over the PM”, Congress president Rahul Gandhi met the BJP leader at the Chief Minister’s Office (CMO) in Panaji on Tuesday.
The meeting between Rahul Gandhi, who is holidaying in Goa, and Manohar Parrikar, who has been unwell for past several months, for about five minutes. What transpired during the meeting was not immediately known but the development came a day after Rahul Gandhi stepped up attack on PM Modi referring to an alleged audio tape, in which a Goa minister claimed that Parrikar had crucial Rafale deal files with him.
On Monday, Rahul Gandhi wrote on Twitter, “30 days since the Goa Audio Tapes on RAFALE were released. No FIR or enquiry ordered. No action against the Minister either! It’s obvious that the tapes are authentic & that Goa CM, Parrikar, is in possession of explosive RAFALE secrets, that give him power over the PM.”
