										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Tuesday, citing a report from a French online publication, accused the former Congress-led United Progressive Alliance (UPA) government of anomalies in the Rafale fighter planes purchase, igniting a new war of words between the ruling and opposition parties.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The journal Mediapart released suspected fraudulent invoices for payments made between 2004 and 2013, alleging that they allowed Dassault Aviation, a French aircraft manufacturer, to pay at least €7.5 million in kickbacks to an intermediary to assist it to clinch the agreement. The UPA was in power at the time, and the agreement mentioned is the one inked by the previous administration with Dassault.</p>
