What ever may be deal, the words used by Mr Fernandes is wrong. Freedom doesn't mean that you can say anything on anybody. Afterall, Mr Singh is the PM of the country. Can anybody say, if not this way, what would have been the correct clause ???

To, Mr mickey,
What Lockheed hints has no effect on buffoon politicians, just check the submarine, Hawk deal, the misfiring Barak missiles. The list of corruption is endless.
F-16 is destined for India, the worst part is now Pakistan would have the same F-16 as India. Atleast, the Russians kept their word and never gave MIGs, Sukhois to Pakistan. US will play double game both in India and Pakistan.

Those words are correct, if they can make any decision without consulting the parliament, or the people of the country, they deserve such words only.
By the way, you are purchasing outdated completely unsafe technology for $200 billion, apart from all this, you will have to buy crap phased out F-16 fighters. This is nothing but pure deception and corruption.

Mr. Mikkey Mouse, Would you better shut up and not talk about Tejas, who forced the GE engines on tejas, it was the politicians and politicians alone who wanted it, no scientist was for it. Anyway dont say the plane took too long for building, everytime the plane was to be readied it had to hit a stumbling block not to mention off the shifting goal posts of the specifications. So better confine urself to supporting uncle sam, bjp or whatever you like without bringing in the hard toiling scientific and engineering community into this

You are a fool, F-16 is on the way out, if you are buying the latest 5th generation, fighter stealth raptor, then you can call it advanced.
BTW F-16 are outdated compared to MIG-29 and Rafael french fighters.
BTW after buying the British Hawk, they completely phased that model out, the same is going to happen to F-16.
Also, China is already developing 100 seater commercial aircraft, thanks to people like you we will forever paying exorbitant amounts for pieces of scrap.

Trust me the Indian Politicians will blindly go for F-16, this is their mentality, they always go for older crap models for saving money.

Just think what Mr PM is getting out if he is lying. If anybody thinks that there is corruption, then they have to prove/expose it. Who is beneficiary if the nation is mislead ?

Calculate, what is 1% of $200 billion dollars, and say that there are no benefits, all your major international deals have a corruption angle.
BTW the nuclear power plant is the most expensive to built, it takes atleast 4 years to build one, (this is the best possible figure achieved by Japan), the roi is very poor, because Nuclear plants take a long gestation period. Nuke plants, have additional overheads like security, waste disposal and also dismantling cost of $300 million, hence the unit cost of power will work out much more than Rs.10 (this is of course conservative estimate, the actual figures might be even more worse).
Nobody, can afford such an expensive power option and the company which produces power will in all probability end up in doldrums.
