New Delhi (ABC Live) After many pulls and pushed India has shown doors to American aircraft manufacturers Boeing and Lockheed Martin from a $10 billion contract to supply new-generation combat planes to Indian Air Force.

Information and confirmation to this effect was made by Indian Defense Ministry spokesman Sitanshu Kar that after US Boeing and Lockheed Martin now Eurofighter and France's Dassault Aviation remain in the competition for the mega military deal.

"Boeing and Lockheed have been eliminated in the elimination round (of the bidding)," Kar said.

The process to acquire advanced fighter jets may be completed by the end of the current fiscal year, he added.

It is mention that US Air companies have lost the battle for 10 billion contract to supply new-generation combat planes even U.S. President Barack Obama's paid visit to India to earn jobs for American a few months ago.

In connected move on Thursday, the U.S. Ambassador to India Timothy Roemer also announced his to leave his assignment as U.S. Ambassador to India by June 2011 citing personal, professional and family reasons, but insiders say that the dealing of air deal unsuccessfully was reason to say good bye to India.

Whereas, informed through statement that ,"We are reviewing the documents received from the government of India and are respectful of the procurement process.

"We are, however, deeply disappointed by this news. We look forward to continuing to grow and develop our defense partnership with India and remain convinced that the United States offers our defense partners around the globe the world's most advanced and reliable technology."

It is to remember that India and the United States signed a new A MoUrk for defense relationship in 2005 that also covered trade and technology transfer and collaboration to boost military ties.

Following are the Defence and Civil Nuclear Contracts awarded to US by India in Recent Times:

1. C130J aircraft

2. P8I maritime surveillance aircraft

Both deals were over $ 4 Billons along with Indo-US Nuclear deal which put this bilateral relation on fast track but this latest move by India is interesting to observe by geopolitics researchers, as there should be some all important message imbedded in this long lasting decision that time will decode.

As Indo- US friendship is based on give and take basis and also a marriage of conveniences, where every action is directly linked with equally forced reaction.

The Government led by Manmohan Singh which had shown one sided approach to rectify Indo-US deal by using all ethical and unethical ways , how same government can reject US pressure for $10 billion contract to supply new-generation combat planes to Indian Air Force ?

The Investigation by ABC Live indicates that now Indian Government has clearly divided into two blocks, one headed by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh Second by UPA Chair person Sonia Gandhi and her royalists and US exit from $10 billion defence contract was resultant of this ongoing tussle between them.

Manmohan Singh is considered as close to US lobby where Sonia Gandhi’s Past and Gandhi-Nehru family closeness with Soviets which always fears US about Russia influence in nations of 1.2 Billions people.

Manmohan
 
so both US and Russia should feel happy to see the other side lost the contect..
 
LOL how come every time i see a conspiracy theory being hatched out on every Indian move. The media is just trying to sensationalize anything and everything.
 
My god... Manmohan Against Sonia... Next Abc will report Man against water... LoL
