Rafale won’t be dropped, will wait for CAG report: FM Arun Jaitley

New Delhi : Rejecting claims of a trick in the Rafale military aircraft bargain, Finance Minister Arun Jaitely on Sunday said that whether the planes are purchased at a higher rate or not is an issue for the Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) to look at. He stated, independent of the affirmations, the Rafale arrangement won’t be dropped.

“The Rafale bargain is spotless and there is no doubt of dropping it,” Jaitley said in an elite meeting to ANI. He declared that the present Rafale airplanes are less expensive than what Congress-drove UPA government had arranged and included that every one of these statistical data points will be put before the CAG.

Congress has presented a notice. Reality will turn out

“Luckily, there is valuing, and for security intrigue, that evaluating can’t be unveiled in detail. However, I have come as near this. In the event that you take a weaponised air ship starting at 2007, add a similar two things to it again and bring it to 2016 level, the 2016 level is 20% less expensive. Presently the CAG will go into estimating. They may not in the end unveil it, but rather about being 9% and 20% less expensive or not, they are investigating it. Congress has presented a notice. Reality will turn out,” Jaitley said.

CAG is a particular association on figures

” ये सारे आकडे आज CAG के सामने हे ,कांग्रेस भी CAG के पास गई हे हम प्रतीक्षा करेंगे इसकी CAG तो आकड़ो का स्पेसिलीस्ट संसथान हे ” the Finance Minister included. (Every one of these figures are before CAG. Congress too has gone to CAG. We will sit tight for this. CAG is a particular association on figures).

Dismissing the likelihood of rejecting the Rafale bargain in perspective of the debate and claims on the administration

Jaitley declared that these planes are coming to India as they are required for security and barrier of the nation.

“These planes are coming to India. They are required for Indian resistance. They will improve the battle capacity of the Indian Air Force (IAF)… This is a spotless government to government bargain. Modi government is the cleanest government in the history while the UPA legislature of 2004-14 was the most degenerate government…By affirmations, you don’t demonstrate anything,” the pastor said.
