Union Minister and senior BJP Arun Jaitley on Wednesday welcomed the CAG report on the controversial Rafale Deal in the Upper House took on the Congress saying that it can't be that Supreme Court and CAG are wrong and the 'dynast' is right.
"'Satyameva Jayate'- the truth shall prevail. The CAG report on Rafale reaffirms the dictum," tweeted Arun Jaitley soon after the CAG report on 11 defence deals including the Rafale combat aircraft deal was tabled.
In a series of tweets, Jaitley further added, "It cannot be that the Supreme Court is wrong, the CAG is wrong and only the dynast is right. How does democracy punish those who consistently lied to the nation?"
He emphasized that the CAG report has drawn comparisons between 2016 and 2017 terms and found the 2016 negotiations are lower price, faster delivery, better maintenance and lower escalation.
"The lies of 'Mahajhootbandhan' stand exposed by the CAG Report," he said in another tweet.
The CAG report, tabled by Minister of State for Finance P Radhakrishan in Parliament, has endorsed the government claims of better negotiations vis-a-vis the UPA regime and said the government could ink the deal at 2.86 per cent cheaper than what was decided earlier.
The CAG also recommended that the Defence Ministry needs to revisit the process of acquisition to ''get rid of redundant activities and simplify the process''.
