Jagan keeping mum on Rafale to escape from cases: Uma

Vijayawada: Water Resources Minister DevineniUmamaheswara Rao criticised opposition leader YS Jaganmohan Raddy for being silent on Rafale deal when all the media was accusing the BJP led NDA government for the irregularities in the Defence deal.

Addressing the media here on Sunday, the minister blamed Jagan for not commenting on the irregularities in the fighter jets purchase deal which was given to a private company, which has no experience in Defence deals. He said that Jagan was tight lipped because he would be behind bars if he comments anything against the Central government. 

Though the opposition leader mincing no words in making allegations on Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu with regard to development activities in the state, he was not daring to utter a single word against the irregularities in the deal, he added.
