Seems like minister has different message for public and government. DRDO has been a drain for public money. They have wasted money and time to give our Armed forces unusable products. Army is not interested in Arjun Tanks and they are buying russian tanks once more. Tejas is pathetic which air ofrce is not interested in. And other than Prithvi and Agni-II missiles none of the others can hit the target with more than 50% accuracy. Only Brahmos is something which is good, but DRDO can't take sole credit for it.
