‘Congress must clarify graft charges’

Mumbai: Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Monday demanded that in view of the revelations made in the AugustaWestland helicopters deal, the Congress and the Gandhi family must reply to the corruption charges made against them.

“James Christian Michel is a key person in the AugustaWestland deal. The Congress has benefited from him. This is what the Enforcement Directorate (ED) has brought forth before the court. The Congress and Gandhi family must clarify,” said Fadnavis. He also sought to know why the name of only one family keeps recurring in all defence deals involving corruption charges.

Speaking to the media, he said three companies had bid for the VVIP helicopters - used by President, Prime Minister and others. (IANS)
