Indore: Taking a dig at Prime Minister Modi’s 'cloudy cover' remark, Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi on Tuesday said that He is such a defence expert that he himself decided who will manufacture planes.

Addressing a rally in Indore on Tuesday, Priyanka said, "He is such a defence expert that he himself decided who will manufacture planes. He decided those who have never manufactured a plane in their lives will make it. He gave them land and a contract. He thought the weather is cloudy, (so) he won't come on the radar."

Priyanka’s remark came after PM Modi on saturday had disclosed that there was confusion and doubt regarding the launch of air strikes given the weather that day. However, he gave the go-ahead thinking that cloudy cover would prevent Pakistani radars from detecting Indian fighter jets.

Earlier, Congress President, Rahul Gandhi has alleged corruption in the multi-billion dollar Rafale fighter jet deal as Congress' campaign agenda and has directly accused PM Modi of giving away Rs 30,000 crore to Anil Ambani through offset contracts against the deal.

Earlier, Congress' social media head Divya Spandana had taken a sharp swipe at PM saying, "FYI @narendramodi the radar to detect planes, cloud or no cloud has been there for decades. Even for the stealth ones. If not, other country’s planes would be crisscrossing the skies firing away at will. This is what happens when you’re stuck in the past. Get with it Uncle ji."
