"Allegations against me are unfair," Deuba said adding that no decision was made during his premiership in 2017 with regards to procure the two wide-body aircrafts.
"The tender process was initiated during the premiership of Pushpa Kamal Dahal and the wide-body aircraft was imported after KP Sharma Oli came to power. Nothing had happened in this regard when I also took the helm of tourism ministry after becoming the prime minister in 2017," Deuba claimed.
