Smt @nsitharaman replies to all the allegations on the Rafale Deal in the Lok Sabha. #NirmalaSitharaman
What UPA could not do in 10 years, Modi Govt finalised in 14 months-
Smt @nsitharaman in The Lok Sabha
#NirmalaSitharaman
National security is important, whether we are in power or they are in power. We should recognise that timely getting of equipment for armed forces should be priority of any govt: Smt @nsitharaman in the Lok Sabha
#NirmalaSitharaman
The assumption that these Rafale fighter jets are available off the shelf is really mistaken. None of this is available off the shelf :Smt @nsitharaman in the Lok Sabha
#NirmalaSitharaman
India’s squadron strength depleted from 42 in 2002 to 33 in 2015.
:Smt @nsitharaman in the Lok Sabha
#NirmalaSitharaman
All the 36 fighter aircraft will be delivered by 2022.
:Smt @nsitharaman in the Lok Sabha
Did the UPA Govt intentionally delay the Rafale deal?
#NirmalaSitharaman
The motion (for purchase of Rafale aircrafts) having commenced in 2001 by Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee, was delayed the UPA government, and even by 2014 they did not finalise the deal.

:Smt @nsitharaman in the Lok Sabha
#NirmalaSitharaman
UPA did not make any sincere effort to iron out the differences between Dassault and HAL.
:Smt @nsitharaman in the Lok Sabha
#NirmalaSitharaman
BJP deals in defence with national interest in priority. We have removed the culture of middlemen from defence negotiations.
:Smt @nsitharaman in the Lok Sabha
#NirmalaSitharaman
This is sheer hypocrisy on the part of Congress party. They failed to develop the capability of HAL while in power and now accuse the present NDA Govt for the same.
#NirmalaSitharaman
The Supreme Court has showed its full satisfaction with the details provided by the government.

#NirmalaSitharaman
The NDA Govt has stuck to the L1 bidder as per the standard process and expedited the deal in the interest of national security. #NirmalaSitharaman
Congress party is comparing the basic aircraft with the battle ready aircraft and misleading the nation. #NirmalaSitharaman
It's matter of shame that Congress party is hell bent on supporting the enemies of the country. #NirmalaSitharaman
NDA negotiated a much better deal than the 'no-deal' of UPA.
#NirmalaSitharaman

As #NirmalaSitharaman continues to claim that the current deal is better than the Congress-negotiated 126-aircraft deal, a reminder of why that's not saying much, and what all this govt is not explaining about the 36-aircraft #RafaleDeal it signed /1
The govt own technical experts objected to various aspects of #Rafale and explained that it was no better than the 126 MMRCA deal; the technical experts did not think that the delivery and maintenance specs were any better than the earlier deal /2

caravanmagazine.in/government/raf…
The technical experts noted that the cost of the India-specific enhancements was too high-- the cost for the earlier deal was spread over 126 aircraft, here it was obviously significantly higher per aircraft. Defence minister and PM-led committee rubbished this concern. /3

On Rafale Deal....
Some lesser-known facts on Rafale deal which everyone must know:
1. During UPA rule, Sanjay Bhandari - a well known arms dealer and the biggest middleman involved in all defense procurement made in UPA rule - wanted 2strike a deal with Dassault for the Rafale.
2. When French company Dassault realised that Sanjay Bhandari was trying to use his influence via Robert Vadra to secure the deal, Dassault objected to it and threatened to back off.
3. It was then that UPA government put the deal on hold, as Dassault did not agree to tie up with Sanjay Bhandari, who is the closest associate of Robert Vadra. The whole aim was to make a huge commission for Vadra and Bhandari.

I believe @RahulGandhi , being the blathering idiot that he is, has actually lost the advantage @INCIndia has in the #Rafale issue by speaking without thinking. #Thread
So far, #Rafale discussion has been about the cost to the nation. Although even that was all hot air and faff, as a confusion and misinformation tactic it was effective.
Although BJP could well explain the cost figure differences like that fact that the cost Congress keeps talking about was just a bargaining point and never agreed upon in a contract, it’s quite well known BJP has been ineffective in communicating this to the masses clearly.
