The much-awaited report of the Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) on the purchase of Rafale fighter jets was tabled in the Rajya Sabha on Wednesday.
A Lok Sabha list of papers to be tabled in the House had earlier mentioned that Minister of State for Finance Radhakrishnan P would present a copy of the report 'Union Government (Defence Services) Air Force Performance Audit on Capital Acquisition in Indian Air Force'.
The report is on the purchase of Rafale jets and other acquisitions of the IAF.
The purchase of 36 Rafale jets from French aviation company Dassault Aviation for Rs 59,000 Crore has raised a storm, with the Congress alleging wrong doing and the BJP saying no wrong was done. The Supreme Court, has separately, dismissed a petition seeking a CBI probe into the matter
