^^^ Momota didi is actively cultivating Sickular votes, also she has usurped all the muscle from Con-gress and Communists.

In my opinion, you are misreading VK Singh's tweet. By a factor of 180 degrees. VKS charge is against Suhag who as Corps Commander of 3 Corps has the Intelligence Unit reporting directly to him. That is what he means by Suhag being head of organization. Rohitvats - could you please shed light on th...

In effect this seems to be an increase in the FDI limit from 26% to 49%. Existing policy already allows up to 100% if the Cabinet Committee on Security gives approval. If that is so, fine.. Across the board 100% FDI in defence likely to kill indigenous R&D in the long run.. wherever 100% is all...

Info is that BJP anticipated pushback from some in IA etc over VKS as Def Min or direct Def related post. So he was given this new position. Disagree.

Question to ask is: why was it so important for the congis to hurriedly push Suhag in at the last minute that couldn't wait for the new govt? That too while breaking convention? His appointment is best avoided if at all possible and Gen VKS should know enough about that. Very likely, there is a gro...

The way that Suhag was rushed means he can probably be manipulated by the Congress. This is a dangerous position to have a cong mole. Every human being may have his faults/limitations, but don't expect a chief to let down his country.. Or do any disservice to the nation.. Lets hold ourselves to bel...
