Congress leader taunts Centre with nimbu-mirchi on toy Rafale, BJP feels the burn

"I'm just asking when Rafale will do its job," Rai said. The Uttar Pradesh Congress chief said that while the Congress stands with the government, the government has to make a decision, and when it does not, people will question and criticise it.

Rai had on Sunday criticised the central government for their "big talk and no action" against those responsible for the Pahalgam terror attack, saying that they purchased Rafale fighter jets which are lying in hangars with "nimbu mirchi" (lemon and chillies) hanging on them.

"It is time to give a reply to the ones who killed our people in Pahalgam...When the Defence Minister went to take delivery of Rafale, he hung lemon-chillies on Rafale. I just wanted to open his eyes and show him that the people of the country want action against terrorism... Strictest action should be taken against the terrorists, and the people giving them support should be finished", Ajay Rai told ANI.
