If NDA got Rafale cheaper than UPA, why buy only 36: Chidambaram
Responding to Finance Minister Arun Jaitley's claims that Rafale deal negotiated by NDA government is 9-20% cheaper than that negotiated by UPA, ex-Finance Minister P Chidambaram said, "If so, why did the government buy only 36 aircraft and not 126 aircraft?" "By buying only 36 aircraft when 126 aircraft are on offer, the government gravely compromised national security," he added.
