Who is buying the Rafales .. India Inc ?

He won't get that. He probably will be bewildered that 54 government owned companies are sitting on nearly $35 billion dollars in cash reserves let alone private companies like the Ambanis owned Reliance & the IT majors. Coal India alone has $10 billion cash simply lying around.

LOL..so true. went online to NDTV live and Times Now to watch what are the pvt companies going to do, but all these channels were talking about was Sushma Swaraj. Thank God, DD has a live feed online.

So????? China is investing more than that amount in total in Pakistan.
Oh, yeah right! Chinese banks lending Chinese companies to invest in Pakistan who will use 15000 Chinese workers to build highways, railways and power plants in Pakistan (who will ironically be protected by 10000 Pak soldiers!) which will be paid for by Pakistan through their taxpayers money and loans from WB,IMF etc. Right, that's such a shame for us! considering this is just an investment by Indian companies in India by and for the Indian people.

Well we need more than that
We need to get Foreign companies to match that figure by way of FDI

All I am pretty sure

Tomorrow Khejriwal will say,

"Yeh Suite Boot ki sarkar hai ji"
"Yahi to scam hai"
"Hum isle khilaaf dharma karenge"
"Chalo Jantar Mantar"
