Description
The Bofors issue became a major moment in Indian politics. A defence deal meant to strengthen India's security was turned into a controversy after unverified reports from Swedish media alleged that commissions were paid. The news coverage soon turned into a trial by media, overshadowing the real facts. The BJP used the matter to attack the Congress and build its political base. After years of investigation, everyone was acquitted and no wrongdoing was proved. Yet the Congress still carries the blame for a scandal driven more by political agendas and media narratives than by truth.
