Parikkar, so far has been a failure. He appears to be a bigger feku than Modiji.

If the contract negotiations for a deal worth billions of dollars were “95% completed” in the three years from 2012 and Dassault was eagerly waiting to conclude the deal abiding the terms and conditions of the RFP, what might have prompted Modi to cancel the contract altogether?

One possible reason, put forth by opposition political parties in India, is that it helped boost India’s private sector as a whole and in particular benefitted certain Indian private companies – namely Anil Ambani’s Reliance Defence – which went on to become a significant joint venture partner of Dassault for the off-the-shelf purchase of 36 aircraft.

In the past few weeks, BJP leaders, Union ministers, their supporters and a host of right-wing defence analysts have provided a long list of reasons for the cancellation of the RFP and they keep saying the “collapse” of the negotiations was the reason for Modi to take such call. But none of them answered the legality of Modi taking a unilateral

call without the approval of relevant cabinet committees and undermining the power of his own cabinet colleagues and senior cabinet ministers – especially the minister of defence and minister of finance.

A two-part investigation by Business Standard has raised disturbing questions about the arbitrariness with which the agreement was reached. It seems clear from the statements of Manohar Parrikar, who was defence minister at the time, that Modi struck the deal without first clearing it in the Cabinet and the Cabinet Committee for Security, the highest decision-making body consisting of senior ministers. Approval by the Cabinet Committee for Security is essential under the Defence Procurement Procedure that guides all defence deals. “Modiji took the decision, I back it up,” Parikar told Doordarshan on April 13, 2015. The deal was possibly been cleared post-facto, as per the assertions of the present Union Defence Minister Nirmala Sitharaman, who has dismissed allegations that anything was amiss.
