Target Practice
India Today|August 20, 2018

The Congress believes it has the government on the mat over the Rafale deal and the BJP has a new scam to target the Congress with. In a report tabled before Parliament on August 7, the Comptroller and Auditor General indicated serious discrepancies in a UPA-era deal: a $2.1 billion contract in 2009 to buy eight Boeing P8-I Long Range Maritime Reconnaissance (LRMR) aircraft.

The CAG said that the defence ministry inflated a bid from a Spanish company to make a rival US-made aircraft look cheaper. The MoD ‘enhanced the financial bid of EADS CASA of Spain to cater for 20 years’ product support cost while ignoring this element in respect of M/s Boeing, USA’.

At a press conference on August 8, former finance minister Yashwant Sinha, former communications and information technology minister Arun Shourie and lawyer and Swaraj Abhiyan leader Prashant Bhushan called the Rafale deal a scam and said this was ‘literally a replay of what the then government invoked for not giving details of the Bofors contract’.
