Union law minister Ravi Shankar Prasad on Monday dismissed as “completely baseless” the allegations of corruption in the Rafale deal, stressing that the Supreme Court had rejected a demand for a probe in the purchase of the fighter aircraft and the CAG also found nothing wrong. He suggested the report in the French media may be due to “corporate rivalry” in France.
