The IAF chief's statement comes days after Congress party said that a "huge scam" was brewing in the Centre over the deal.
Addressing a press conference here, IAF chief said, I think we have negotiated a better deal in the Rafale contract than what we did in MMRCA (Medium Multi-Role Combat Aircraft). There is no controversy. What is the controversy I don't understand? It is not overpriced."
He further said that the government has negotiated a very good deal.
