A theme has not yet emerged for BJP & people see lack of a contest, which makes it unexciting. For all these reasons, 2024 is turning out to be an unexpectedly theme-less election.
UPA headed by a pvt ltd Party sanctioned lot of defence deals but it was a pure “eye wash” as it was deliberately delayed to make the technology outdated..
Congress headed by a foreign lady had signed a MoU with China to make India’s defence weak by not purchasing/making required arms and ammunitions.
They under a sinister plan appointmented a honest but coward person Sri A.K.Anthony as defence minister. Who never wanted to accelerate a deal as there was attend in Congress rule to have a solid kickback and Anthony never wanted to be a party for facing allegations…
Result no significant defence purchases..
From 42 squadrons Airforce was made to dangerously reduce to 25… Half of the Submarine fleet were made defunct for repair/overhauling… No proper rifles for soldiers, even stock of bullets and other ammunitions were reduced to 2 days capacity in case of a war.
When there is enemy inside your house and that too holding high offices you can’t expect any defence(safety) from ouside aggressions.
Thank God we get rid of it in 2014 and some patriotic peoples took the charge
In the years of its rule it divided India on the basis of caste and religion to stay in power. Suppressed media or used it to preach its agenda. Stole businesses for companies that were an extended arm of the govt and financed the ruler, these companies grew and looted India while the people suffered. The rulers Suppressed people’s dissent by using law enforcement against them, putting people who didn’t agree with them in jails, murdering the representatives of people’s voices. The rulers came in the name of doing better business and helping people.
Now tell me Mr. Gopal Sharma what is the difference between the British and the BJP?
This govt certainly will undo the God works of the previous govts and the rot has begun.

The cases where the UPA can genuinely take credit for are the nuclear sub development and launch, the development of a Bofors equivalent by the OFB, bringing LCA to the IOC status, induction of the INS Vikramaditya, Agni 4 and 5 launches, ASTRA missile development, Barak missile induction and completion of the hull- launch of the Indian aircraft carrier . In many other projects there was unnecessary delay and bureaucracy with no one willing to make things happen. Prime examples are the SCorpene sub delays ( 4 years), Rafale tender delay ( no excuses here) , delays in any number of artillery gun tenders and delays in finalisng combat rifles and bullet proof vests.
UPA failed. Period. Deals pending admittedly since 2005 didn’t see the light of day till post 2014. So to say that UPA set the “ball rolling” is essentially giving credit where none is due. The headline is ridiculously misleading.
EXACTLY. FALSIFIED HEADING.
THE CASE IS INITIATED BY THE SERVICES. UPA SAT UPON THOSE CASES. NOW IT IS BEING EXECUTED.
“Ball rolling” is not good enough if you do not have the courage to go against the delaying and backward-motion tactics of the corrupt members of the dynasty. So MMS failed.
The reason for the delays is all political dispensations in power at the centre have been depending on filling their coffers ( party accounts) from the collateral commissions from defence deals. They have to find a safe conduit for the same before the deal is inked. From Bofors to Augusta it is the same story. Even during Vajpayee’s tenure Tehelka proved that it was happening. Remember Bandaru Laxman, the National President receiving wads of currency notes literally from under the table in the field of the secret camera of the sting operator. This practice could have been totally dispensed with, with a few changes in the election laws covering donations to parties and a more transparent audit of their accounts. But no party comes forward to put an end to this corruption which is the mother of all corruptions.
