We have not understated the range of Agni V. We as a nation don’t have to hide anything with respect to our capabilities -
V K Saraswat, DRDO chief, IE
I am in New Delhi’s DRDO Bhawan, in fact in its museum, and my guest today is Dr V K Saraswat, India’s Missile Man. From the first Prithvi to now, we have also been incredibly consistent in working on the same series. Now you could either say we have taken too long with this or we can say we have stayed consistent to the idea and built on it. What’s the difference between that first Prithvi and the Prithvi now for example, and what’s the difference between the idea of Agni, which was then floating in your head, and Agni V? For that, I think we should go back to what was our reason when we started the IGMDP (Integrated Guided Missile Development Programme) in 1983.

Verbatim |
 The UPA 2 government was conceived in corruption – and never really recovered from that taint. Right from the day the election results came in, the back-channel negotiations began for the reappointment of A Raja as Telecom Minister to advance the interests of certain telecom majors (in return for illegal gratification). It was an enterprise which set the stage for India’s biggest corruption scandal and virtually set the political tone for the rest of the four years. As subsequent exposes have established, Manmohan Singh and other key Ministers knew full well that mischief was afoot, but pointedly looked the other way. That was the beginning of the slide, and the UPA government in general – and Manmohan Singh in particular – was mortally wounded from that episode. But rather than press ahead with remedial action, the government slid further into the cesspool of corruption.

Split with Nitish will only boost BJP in Bihar -
K Balakrishnan, LensOnNews
WITH THE BJP seemingly decided on projecting Narendra Modi as its PM candidate and its close ally Nitish Kumar of JD(U) equally firm in his opposition to the idea, a split in the NDA alliance looks inevitable; most observers think it’s not a question of if, but when. |
