The last time this matter flared up was when Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta, in a very similar directive in April, called for the relocation of stray dogs in the capital.
Finance ministry says the proposed revamp will focus on structural reforms, rate rationalisation & ease of living, & will be deliberated upon in the coming weeks.
The project is meant to be a ‘protective shield that will keep expanding’, the PM said. It is on the lines of the ‘Golden Dome’ announced by Trump, it is learnt.
Now that both IAF and PAF have made formal claims of having shot down the other’s aircraft in the 87-hour war in May, we can ask a larger question: do such numbers really matter?
Good to see Mr Chari taking a sober look at what confronts India instead of the usual BJP hype about the fastest growing economy, emerging superpower etc. However he has not referred to the practice in the NDA of constantly changing the way data is handled and the shaky ground on which our growth data stand. This is a direct result of the MOdi Govt’s compulsion to make itself look good at any cost , ignoring professional inputs about the economy. He has also downplayed the challenges which will be faced by Mr Modi on multiple fronts when dealing with a capricious Trump administration , hell bent on getting the maximum, for itself out of any engagement.
An aircraft is only as good as the thrust its engines generate. Our economy, trundling along at 4.5% for close to a decade, will not allow us to play the global role we aspire to.
