Apr 14, 2019
Ahmedabad (Gujarat), Apr 14 (ANI): Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) Sharad Pawar has stirred a controversy by saying that Late Manohar Parrikar resigned from the post of defence ministry because Rafale deal wasn't acceptable to him. Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis responded to the comment and said, “Rahul ji too had attempted to say something like this earlier. It was a crass joke but Manohar ji was alive then, so he could give a reply.” He added, “Making such statements after the death of Manohar Parikar ji, doesn’t seem nice. Manohar Parikar ji gave reply to this when he was alive.”
