Dear punter, do read about france media which keep pointing about rafale deal. Also suggest you to read CAG report which says current deal is just 2.3% (may be 3) cheap not like 15-20% claimed by govt ministers in parliament which coyld be considered a lie in western democracies. (Also include our PM)
Plus CAG pointed out many modifications were not needed which increased cost. Previous deal had technology transfer which would have prevented situation MIG 21 type situation. Plus previous deal had guarantee deposits.
If previous govt deal was good why not just sign it and not waste 4 years of time?
Anil Ambani’s firm was registered 8 days before Rafale deal was announced by Modi in france. Ambani firm produced movie for france’s first lady after deal. Ambani’s experiences which you are pointing are on shipyards and not in aviation. And those firms are torally different than the one which got offset contract.

No sensational story on Rafale has survived even half a day since this controversy erupted - b'cos it had NO legs. Bloody fact.
As far as CAG report is concerned, boss I have read it in full. GOI cannot do any modifications on its own - these changes must come from the IAF. I don't think you even have any idea what serious charges you are talking about here. It would be a real scam if something not needed was done!! Think before you allege. Even Mr "P" is not alleging this...
Tech transfer was there when HAL were to manufacture it but Dassault was not ready to give any assurance on quality. It is another useless sarkari white elephant. Now all planes are coming from France in fly away conditions. Brilliant. We all love imported stuff
In place of tech transfer India will get much much needed and extremely important help in reviving Kaveri engine; and also world's best air to air Meteor missile (extremely extremely important).
UPA left the contract negotiations so messed up that Modi government had to re-do everything from start. It took some time but they did a very good job in the end. We are buying it cheap and most importantly will also get French help in reviving our top secret but struck-for-years defense projects.
And if not me and other top credible experts then at least please trust your SC.
Learned Judges must have gone thru all the charges which you and others are leveling. Cong top lawyer battery including left extremist lawyers fought this case to the best of their ability. But despite all the propaganda and media support, failed spectacularly. SC refused to come under any pressure. After going thru all the details, files and records they found contract was as per rules and there is/was no impropriety. So they threw out the motivated appeals (being done on behalf of losing defense party it is said in silent tone) and didn't even feel the need for probe. LOL.
I bet the same order will come "once again" in May from SC. There is nothing wrong in Rafale deal. Hard and bitter fact. I recco you read more and believe things only after cross-checking, understanding facts.
BTW, are you in Kejri camp?
