Don’t be a pappu. If Pak attacks India today will you tell the army that you should not attack Pak till elections are over? There will be a strategic reason for everything.

We will all be therefore to justify his choices by saying – were made with best intentions, he is not corrupt, he has courage, and so on. if nothing works, we will have people hiding information or adjusting back series to show that the country has made great progress.

We, of course, now have defence lobby (domestic and international) that would love the institutions and processed being subverted for their private gain.
Well done, when the going gets tough, tough gets going.
