Amid the political controversy over Rafale deal with France, the Dassault Aviation has announced that it will deliver the fighter jets to India from 2019 and may see new orders in coming months, reported news agency Reuters.
Dassault Aviation Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Eric Trappier told this to Reuters ahead of the world`s largest business jet show in Orlando on Monday.
The announcement comes amid a huge political row over the deal with France, with the Congress party spearheading a campaign against what it terms as Rafale scam. Congress president Rahul Gandhi has accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of benefitting
Reliance Defence’s Anil Ambani for the deal.
