The delays would not have taken place (or would have been minimised to a significant degree) if the previous DM had done his job and monitored the progress of defence projects- this has been echoed by not just the new DM but defence analysts and former senior defence personnel.There is a difference between responsibility and accountability. The DM and UPA are accountable for the delay as they did not take corrective actions on a timely manner, but the responsible parties for the delay are Mazgon and the French.
In the military you would be raked over the coals, face a court martial, be dishonourably discharged and lose your pension for such a dereliction of duty but the great "Saint" ended up becoming India's longest serving defence minister!
