That does not transfer responsibility from DIAL to GoI. If Govt owned AI orders aircraft from Boeing and Boeing delivers shoddy aircraft, which AI accepts, AI/GoI can be blamed for not exercising their oversight authority. But the blame still will go to Boeing for delivering a shoddy product.

This pure conjecture on your part.

How does failure of inspectors absolve DIAL and GMR?

Unless you manufacture facts, no one has said that regulatory agencies of the Govt had no say. What I am saying is that GMR is primarily responsible for the shoddy construction. If you sell me a shoddy product, you are responsible. I can be faulted for not exercising due caution. But that does not mean you sold a good product. @:-)

That's just pure nonsense. You are dressing the same flawed argument in different garb.

Why have we not seen any criticism from the govt for this ?? ( ok I know wht can they say when they r themselves in the dump for the stadiums and other things)
Rolling eyes is not an argument.

That is the crux of the matter. GMR failed to provide a good product.
