Ambani’s are better than HAl any day . Jokes apart it is time for the Ambani’s and Adani’s to be not given any govt contract for atleast five years . Tata’s Birlas and the Tvs group can be given a chance.

Rafale reminds me of the story which had the moral -Grapers are sour. The former French President Hollande has contradicted his purported statement very next day saying that he was not aware of any pressure to make Reliance the partner of Da@@sault. The congress party was earlier making noise about price of the plane,then AK Antony of UPA says we were still negotiating with France.It appears congress does not have an issue but wants an issue that does not exist for the 2019 elections.

Surely crony capitalism at work as defense deals are dirty and politician fall prey to it easily. There is something fishy as BJP is not at all transparent.

Crony interests of Robert Vadra and his crony Sanjay Bhandari were thwarted by the direct agreement between India and France. This is what made Rahul Gandhi go after the Modi government.
