Frightened of discussing me on corruption: Rahul

New Delhi, Apr 9 Congress president Rahul Gandhi asked Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday if he was "scared" of debating with him on corruption and proposed that they could go "open book" for it.

Gandhi has been over and over challenging Modi to debate with him on issues of national security, particularly the Rafale warrior planes bargain, affirming that when it occurs, reality will be out in the open.

The BJP has scoffed at the idea and described the Congress Congress chief as an ignorant politician.

"Dear PM, Scared of discussing me on corruption? I can make it easier for you. We should go open book, so you can get ready: 1. RAFALE+Anil Ambani, 2. Nirav Modi, 3. Amit Shah+Demonetisation," Gandhi tweeted with #Scared2Debate.

After releasing the Congress manifesto for the Lok Sabha polls earlier this month, Gandhi had challenged the prime minister to debate with him on the issues of national security, corruption and foreign policy.

The Congress has also blamed Modi for helping industrialist Anil Ambani make a benefit of Rs 30,000 crore by favoring him as the offset partner in the Rafale deal.

The government has denied any wrongdoing in the fighter jets deal. Ambani has also rejected all allegations asks Modi.
