VVIP chopper scam: Happy to be targeted, says Rahul Gandhi

VVIP chopper scam: Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi today sought to brush aside BJP’s attempts to drag him into VVIP chopper scam, saying he is “happy to be targeted”. “I am always being targeted, happy to be targeted,” he told reporters while entering Parliament House.

He was asked about BJP MP Kirit Somaiya’s letter to ED and CBI asking them to check alleged connections of Gandhi’s political aide with a middleman in the AgustaWestland deal. Somaiya had said that Guido Haschke, an alleged middleman in the chopper deal is linked to Christian Michel, an accused in the VVIP chopper scam.
