In the recent past, it has been seen that the Congress, especially its president Rahul Gandhi has illogically been trying to project the Rafale deal as a scam. Rahul Gandhi has left no stone unturned in making allegations of corruption in the Rafale deal. He has been making allegations even after being exposed time and again. He shares bogus reports of alleged news websites to prove his point and it takes a very few Google searches for people to expose the baseless allegations made by Rahul Gandhi.
On Monday, the Centre submitted an affidavit in connection with the Rafale deal in the Supreme Court. The document titled “Details of the steps in the decision making process leading to the award of 36 Rafale fighter aircraft order” states that the process as laid down in the ‘Defence Procurement Procedure-2013’ has been followed in the procurement of the Rafale aircraft. The Centre in a sealed cover has filed the details of the pricing as well. Important point to note here is that the papers were submitted in a sealed envelope.
After the Centre submitted affidavit to the SC, Rahul Gandhi in a tweet said, “Modi Ji has admitted his theft in the SC. In the affidavit, he admitted the changes in the contract without consulting the Air Force and put Rs 30,000 crore in Ambani’s pocket.” The Congress president ended his tweet with a famous Hindi movie dialogue- ‘Picture abhi baaki hai mere dost’. The source he used to prove his point belonged to propaganda news website.
सुप्रीम कोर्ट में मोदीजी ने मानी अपनी चोरी।
हलफ़नामे में माना कि उन्होंने बिना वायुसेना से पूछे कांट्रैक्ट बदला और 30,000 करोड़ रूपया अंबानी की जेब में डाला।

It looks that the owner of the website is a big fan of the ex-Karnataka CM, Siddaramaiah.
They are so much worried about the fortunes of the Congress.

Other contributors for this website include some well-known faces that have pro-Congress and pro-left leanings. Teesta Setalvad, S Irfan Habib, Rana Safvi, Prof Apoorvanand are among the contributors of the website.
In their interview section, so far they have interviewed only those who are anti-Modi or anti-BJP.
After the Karnataka state assembly elections, the website is now in the business of maligning the image of the BJP with its baseless reports. The website is filled with all sorts of negativity against the BJP and its leaders. It seems that they are campaigning in favour of the Congress for the 2019 general elections.
