  4. Appreciate the govt decision that serviceman retiring on the day is appointed as ACM.Despite during selection process whose name was not in the list That’s how Modi govt works . This is the value of professional serviceman . The other two contestant should not lose heart till their date of retirement

      • No, you both are wrong. Air Marshal (Rtd) ABP Sinha led the Rafale Negotiating Team and Bhadauria was a member of the team. So far as corruption is concerned, nothing is proved and all allegations are wild imagination of Rahul Gandhi. Ask the Supreme Court. Their verdict is awaited.
