    India to begin contract negotiations to acquire 56 Airbus C-295 Transports

    The Russians didn't had anything to offer in this class. The only competitor which C295 has was Italian Spartan , whom didn't chose to bid as their expected bid price was much higher than that of C295. Meaning a sure shot loss.

    Arun Jaitley gets charge of defence ministry after Manohar Parrikar resigns

    Additional charge to Piyush Goyal or Nitin Gadkari or Suresh Prabhu would have been better. Its not that Jaitley is corrupt, just that he is highly incapable of doing Defence Ministry any good.
