He is not pushing indigenous products hard enough
For now they have stopped at 36.

That is not his job. His job is to push India and the entire Indian Defence establishment.
Do you want to retain the tag of the world's largest "arms importer"?
Its not in my hands or parrikar's hand. The LCA suffered uninspired leadership during the UPA time and that is 10 years lost that cannot be claimed back.
Wishful thinking is not reality.
Without the FOC, its too late for India to buy more Tejas to replace the Mig 21. The only alternative is foreign MII till the LCA program is brought back to track again.
HAL is a govt company, what is stopping him to force HAL to accelerate the production by outsourcing it to Pvt players
Reliance what they are doing?No more responsibilities will be given to HAL, the recent deal for the offset between Dassault and Reliance is a clear indication for that. Because of HAL, the Rafale deal was backtracked and delayed for over 2 years.
Production for F-16s in India would start earlier than 2020. The main delay is from India. LM is slated to start F-35 production full steam in 2019. Expect F-16 Indian line in 2018.
Logistics nightmare is an unfounded concern.
IAF has procured and maintained the following in the recent past
SU-30MKI - 300
MIG-29 - 70
Mirage 2K - 40
MIG-21 - 250
Jaguar - 145
MIG -27 - 120
Now by 2025, IAF would have
Super Sukhois - 300
RAFALEs -126
F-16s -200
MIG-29 & Mirage 2K would be getting ready for retirement by 2030 and India would start procuring FGFA and Gripen (LCA Tejas MK2) from 2024
These are not rumors. We will see a F-16 Indian line by 2018.
200+ F-16s
No F-18s
Gripen would be a JV to replace LCA MK2.
Reliance what they are doing?
So no more LCA program? 200+ F-16s sounds good to me but I am sure F-18s will be there as INs new carrier might have catapult launch systems in it. May be Americans might impress IAF with F-15SE capability too.

Get a grip dude, 200 F-16s! That too by 2024?
Stop living in parallel universe and when making assumptions quote official sources.
