Former union minister P Chidambaram Thursday took a swipe at the Government saying whether it would declare that Rafale manufacturer Dassault Aviation met their offset obligations even after the country’s auditor said that it has not delivered on its promises regarding transfer of technology. “Is the CAG report the opening of a can of worms?” he tweeted.
In a series of tweets Chidambaram said the French manufacturer should have completed its first annual commitment of fulfilling offset obligations as of Wednesday.
After its latest reports were tabled in Parliament, the Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) on Wednesday said: “…it was found that the foreign vendors made various offset commitments to qualify for the main supply contract but later, were not earnest about fulfilling these commitments.”
