Arun Jaitley says ‘CAG review on Rafale not relevant to Supreme Court’s conclusions’ 

Arun Jaitley.

Union finance minister Arun Jaitley, on Sunday targeted the Congress in a blog and claimed that a review by the comptroller and auditor general (CAG) was “not relevant” to the Supreme Court’s conclusions on the Rafale deal. He called the main opposition party “bad losers” who are “now manufacturing further lies” about the judgment.

In a blogpost on Facebook, Jaitley wrote: “The CAG review is not relevant to the final findings on procedure, pricing and offset suppliers. But bad losers never accept the truth. Having failed in multiple lies they have now started an innuendo about the judgment. Having failed in their initial falsehood, the Congress is now manufacturing further lies about the judgment.”

The Supreme Court dismissed all four petitions, on Friday, which sought a court-monitored investigation into the Rafale deal. In its verdict, the apex court said it found “no occasion to really doubt the process” of decision making.
