Wrong. There are some misinformation about this. let clear it...
Dr. Saraswat headed Prithvi development programmes in the 90s. After that he headed the BMD programme and now DRDO chief. He has nothing to do with Agni project. Agni missile development programme (Agni-TD, Agni-1 and Agni-2) was headed by R.N. Agarwal for long time. As he was the director of ASL, the lab responsible for Agni series. Now there are little info who spearheaded 'Kalam' series and which ab was responsible for that.
Above all Dr. Saraswat is the DRDO chief he cannot and will not stop or delay any project. And it is BMD programme and his leadership quality that led him to the top not Agni series.
Now on pls forget that wrong info spreaded by Sandip Unnithan.

As as angeldemon_007 mentioned it is not Kalam's baby, the name given in honor. Neither they are advanced than Agni series. They are different.
