Agusta Westland deal: Sonia rejects allegations against her

New Delhi: Congress President Sonia Gandhi on Wednesday rejected as “baseless” allegations linking her and party leaders to bribes in the AgustaWestland chopper deal and said she is not “afraid” of being “cornered” on the issue

She asked the government what it has been doing in power for the last two years on the issue and demanded that the ongoing inquiry be completed impartially

“I am not afraid of anyone cornering me as there is no basis to that. All the accusations they are throwing at us are false,” Gandhi told reporters in Parliament complex as BJP sought to target her on the deal.
