Opposition Congress in Goa on Wednesday demanded that the CBI “raid” the private residence of Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar to find about a file on Rafale deal.
It also demanded that Parrikar and his Cabinet colleagues should undergo the lie detector test.
The reaction came after Parrikar’s purported claim that he had a file on the Rafale jet deal “lying in his bedroom” and Congress president Rahul Gandhi making an attempt in the Lok Sabha to play an audio tape purportedly of a Goa Minister regarding this matter.
Goa Congress spokesperson Siddhanath Buyao said at a press conference here that the audio tape of a conversation between Goa Health Minister Vishwajit Rane and an unidentified person has revealed that a file related to the Rafale deal was lying in Parrikar’s bedroom.
Both Parrikar, a former Defence Minister, and Rane have denied the allegation.
