Much of hype as such, has a background. The background having political & economical interests of some individual or a party involved in the deal. Modi used Rafale to his best opportunity from every angle. As far as the observations goes; the scam is well known and Ambani got the most perks then who knows, which one of BJP guy had its pockets full as well. Secondly, after operation swift retort, Modi again used the Rafale card in a manner to verify the necessity and divert allegations in mix of national security. While that issue was not totally gone, China made a move in Laddakh and every detail is in public domain.
Here, since the scam, operation swift retort and now Laddakh; Modi needed a moral booster for public with a medium to spread and that is no one but Media to do the job. All the hype, continuous projection like Rafale is end of the world etc have more to do with Modi's political career and saving certain skins involved in this deal alone. Once the public is made scared with their security; you can sell them whatever you want even if you rob them. Exactly, happening.
Technically & from professional point of view; no doubt that Rafale is a capable platform all along its weapon package but then again; no force ever hype an induction as such or goes into full media promotions. However, it may relate to the situation where not once but more than twice, Indian Military is being used as a political office to make sure that Modi wins the election. Public praises the military and treat them the first guard line and Modi wasn't able to deliver publicly in first term so may have to use Military for his own gains. The planning couldn't be executed if it wasn't for Doval and all these promotions, media hype and advertising is need of hour for Modi and his political career. This is an outsider observation based upon the picture on other side of the coin.
