    Nothing has, as of yet, just smiles and polite chats.

    Why is Ivanka calling us a "critical ally" ? and this is in addition to "critical trading partner" & "critical security partner".

    Lots of critical in there. Wooooo...Productive meeting she beams.

    Is this an upgrade from Vajpayee's "natural ally" of twenty years back

    Is it in anticipation of something we have to do or have agreed to do already.

    Many questions, very few answers for now.

    P-8I's are good to have. Japan has ninety of them. We have just 22.

    Question is whether the Americans will ask for more before we get S-400 : )
    We have 12 P-8I's for now. Remaining 10 have been approved by the DM.

      Priyanka campaigned for Congress in this Lok Sabha elections, and she could not gather any more votes than what the Congress already got. Like all other Gandhis, she is a failure. I don't understand, instead of correcting their mistakes, Scamgress is trying all old formulae that doesn't sell anymore in India.

      • 135 refugees from Myanmar pushed back

        Issue here is a lot of these people have no documents at all to identify which country they belong to. Makes the work to deport them tougher.

          She was going to start her campaign and then Pulwama happened. So she lost momentum.

          Congress is still a force to contend with at the state level because Modi isn't a contender in them.

          Rajasthan, MP, & Chattisgarh. Even Karnataka.

          What has weakened Congress here isn't the BJP, its regional parties that copied Congress. In states where there are no strong regional parties its a two way fight only between Congress & BJP.

              Could have been done in another way but i suppose congress needs the publicity right now.

                  Very good. Rot in jail.

                  This is a worrying development. Should be nipped in the bud.

Any country at India’s low per capita income level can’t afford both expansive social spending and enough investment to achieve East Asia style 8% growth.
                        Budget does seem like a thank you for voting for us to the less well off.

                        We will have to see how things develop in the future.

                        You would be forgiven for wondering whether it was Congress who made this budget instead

                        The left might be out of power but their policies still seem to be sticking around, this is the way the right has figured to keep them out of office.
