In the video, the girl picks up the first of two pencil boxes which is empty and says that it’s Rahul Gandhi’s Rafale fighter – indicating a base (non-weaponised) aircraft, quoting a price of Rs 720 crore. She then picks up the other pencil box, which is full of stationery. This is Modiji’s plane, she says, adding that it’s packed with advanced technology and weaponry, quoting its price as Rs 1600 crore.

Later, Sitharaman retweeted the post and thanked the girl for her interest in the Rafale deal. “Thanks for posting this.
