Seeking to turn the tables on the Congress over the Rafale issue, the BJP will deploy its top leaders, including chief ministers and Union ministers, in 70 cities across the country on Monday, 17 December, to attack the opposition party.
The judgment, he said, has "nailed the lie" of those leveling allegations against the government over the fighter aircraft contract.
Union ministers Nirmala Sitharaman, Ravi Shankar Prasad, Prakash Jaavdekar, JP Nadda, Smriti Irani, Suresh Prabhu, former Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan and the party's organisational leaders will also speak to the media on Monday at different places.
In a boost to the BJP-led central government, the Supreme Court on Friday, 14 December, had dismissed a batch of petitions seeking probe into the Rafale deal.
The court said there is no occasion to doubt the decision-making process in the multi-billion dollar Rafale fighter jet deal with France.
Following the judgement, BJP President Amit Shah had sought an apology from Congress chief Rahul Gandhi who, however, stuck to his guns and alleged corruption in the deal.
