Centre rubbishes Trinamool's Saket Gokhale's 'overpriced' claims over US drone deal

The Ministry of Defense (MoD) on Sunday denied the claims made by Trinamool Congress (AITC) spokesperson Saket Gokhale that the central government is "overpaying" to acquire predator drones from the US. It said the cost of the 31 MQ-9B drones to be acquired from the US is yet to be finalised. The price of these drones will be decided upon only after a comparison of the "best price" offered to other countries.
