NEW DELHI: Amid a fight of words with BJP over the controversial Rafale fighter jet deal between India and France, Congress president Rahul Gandhi will hold talks with the party's core group on Thursday.

During the talks, the party will reportedly underline the plan to further escalate attack on the Narendra Modi led government over the Rafale jet deal. Earlier Congress called the deal ''Great Rafale Robbery.''

The sources close to Congress said Zee news that after the meeting gets ended, some members of the Core group may unite for a protest march by the party's youth wing from the AICC headquarters here to the Prime Minister Modi's house.

The newly-constituted core group committee will meet at Rahul Gandhi's residence to talk about further plan over the Rafale issue. This will be the primary meeting of the group, which has veteran Congress leaders as its members.

Rahul on micro blogging website said that the government should accept a Joint Parliamentary Committee investigation.

"Jaitley, thanks for bringing the nation's attention back to the Great Rafale Robbery! How about a Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC) to sort it out?" Problem is, your supreme leader is protecting his friend. So this may be inconvenient. Do check and revert in 24 hours. We're waiting!" Gandhi scion tweeted.
