Taking to Twitter, Gandhi along with hashtag #BikGayaChowkidar tweeted,''The latest skeleton to tumble out of the RAFALE cupboard: NO Guarantee by the French Govt. backing the deal.

The government has denied any wrongdoing in the deal while the BJP has dismissed as "lies" allegations of corruption levelled by the Congress.
