Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that said all those involved in the AgustaWestland chopper deal scam will be punished.
Addressing election rallies on behalf of the BJP, in Hosur and Chennai, Modi asked if people have any relatives in Italy, and replied, “I don’t have any relatives in Italy. Nor have I visited Italy.”
