Govt will wait for CAG report
WEB DESK/ NEW DELHI
Rejecting allegations of a scam in the Rafale fighter plane deal, Finance Minister Arun Jaitely today said that whether the planes are bought at a higher rate or not is a matter for the Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) to examine. He asserted, irrespective of the allegations, the Rafale deal will not be cancelled.
“The Rafale deal is clean and there is no question of cancelling it,” Jaitley said in an exclusive interview to ANI.
He asserted that the present Rafale aircrafts are cheaper than what Congress-led UPA government had negotiated and added that all these facts and figures will be placed before the CAG.
