Two months after BJP won UP polls, the EC gave clean chit to BSP, releasing its Rs 104 crore made unusable during polls due to ED's post note ban scrutiny.
In tactical terms, the shirtless protest was worse than a self-goal. Suddenly, the fiascos of the AI Summit were forgotten, and the Youth Congress’s disruption became the issue.
IAF is fine with accepting the aircraft with 'must-haves', even if some other steps remain pending, which may take at least another year, it is learnt.
