West Bengal BJP president Dilip Ghosh Wednesday hailed the Supreme Court verdict on Rafale fighter jet deal and said the "false allegations" made by TMC on it during the Lok Sabha polls has fallen flat and it should apologize to the people.
He also questioned West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee's silence on the apex court's verdict on the Rafale deal and demanded a statement from her.
"During elections we have seen not only the Congress but also TMC engaging in petty politics and spreading canards over the Rafale jet deal. Now the Supreme Court verdict is out. I want to ask TMC leadership - will they apologise before the people for spreading lies and canards all along ?
Continuing his attack, the BJP state chief asked "Why has the TMC gone silent all of a sudden? Are they embarrased to make a statement on it (Rafale verdict)?
