This comes after the government filed an application in the Supreme Court seeking correction in its verdict on Rafale fighter jet deal that was delivered on Friday.

Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Saturday said that it will conduct press conferences at 70 locations across the country to 'expose Congress for plotting conspiracy against the Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led  Central Government and messing with country's defence'.

This comes after the government filed an application in the Supreme Court seeking correction in its verdict on Rafale fighter jet deal that was delivered on Friday.

The govt has sought correction in a paragraph in which a reference has been made about the Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) report and Parliament’s Public Accounts Committee (PAC).

Earlier on Friday, the Supreme Court dismissed all petitions seeking court-monitored probe into the multi-billion dollar Rafale fighter jet deal with France, saying that there was no occasion to doubt decision-making process in the deal. The top court said it was not its job to go into the issues of pricing.

The Congress party, however, continued to raise their demand for the Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC) probe saying that the 'Supreme Court was not the forum to discuss such sensitive defence contract'.

Sources said Yogi Adityanath, Devendra Fadanvis, Vijay Rupani, Sarbananda Sonowal, its chief ministers in Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra, Gujarat, and Assam, respectively, will address the media in Guwahati, Ahmedabad, Jaipur and Agartala respectively.

Union ministers Nirmala Sitharaman, Ravi Shankar Prasad, Prakash Javdekar, J P Nadda, Smriti Irani, Suresh Prabhu,  former Madhya Pradesh chief minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan and party's organisational leaders will also speak to the media on Monday at different places.
