"In February, it was conveyed to the Russians that they could go ahead with developing the fighter without us," she said. "But the option remains and we could well go back at a later stage and ask to buy the fighter."
THis doesn't make sense at all. At a later stage if we go back, the FGFA may not have the key features we were rooting for. WHy should we then go back ? Will we go back to Russia because we got a kick in the pants from the Western nations ?

Pakistan keeps learning and improving, while India keeps forgetting and avoids improvement.
During the past 70 odd years of the Pakistan India war, USSR and Russia were the only countries that did not blackmail India by imposing sanctions or by supplying modern weapons to Pakistan. USA always did the exact opposite.
And yet the Indians cannot overcome their compulsion to beg USA.

But she appears to be more busy hopping TV CHs 24x7 and addressing press conferences as spokesperson of BJP than finding time as RM.Now Pak is busy with elections and so some breather but wonder if it can work like this for long!Similarly Sushma Swaraj looks full time occupied with tweets and attending to individual problems of overseas Indians than MEA affairs ! Same with Fin,Arun jaitely recuperating from illness and a second part time Rly minister doubling up for Fin. Finally, the jr minsters look more busy garlanding convicted Hindutva vigilante groups.It seems it is Narendra Modi the PM who is actually directly looking after all ministries with the respective minsters only are there for namesake.

Keeping in mind that Modi became PM with only 31% voters voting for BJP. That means 69% voters in 2014 voted against BJP. Since the PM is not doing his duties as PM but only electioneering and rallis speeches, and all other ministers are also doing the same thing, just like in Karnataka, all the people need to approach the President and CJI and request them to advise the PM to stop his current activities and take care of the PM`s duties.

Ok Daniel... Well Said... Please elaborate on what duties PM has not executed .... People seem to know everything but do not elaborate on what he is not doing and what the remaining 69% expect him to do what Kangis did ....
