The deal was signed in 2015 and got delivery in 2019. If it was Congress government they would have spent 4 years just to finalize their commission.

该协议于2015年签署，并于2019年交付。如果是国大党政府，双方商定回扣就得花4年时间。

Exactly !!!! They haggle and haggle like vegetable market vendors for their commission for decades leaving the country and armed forces vulnerable .... they will sacrifice national security for their familie''s personal gain... Time to make that family history forever this month.... !!

没错! ! ! !几十年来，他们就像菜市场上的小贩一样为了回扣讨价还价，导致这个国家和军队不堪一击……为了家族利益，他们牺牲国家安全。是时候让这个家族退出历史舞台，就在这个月……! !

Seeing their track record, 4 years to finalize the commission would have been outstanding! i doubt..

看看他们过去的表现，4年能谈好回扣就非常不错了! 对此都表示怀疑 .

My great country is really develo. All thanks to Modiji for his able administration. Earlier, we used to have defence partnership ONLY with great Russia and to some extent with Sweden (Bofors). Now we’ve France, US, all time friend Russia and Israel too onboard with us. Mera Bharath Mahaan..

我们伟大的国家正在发展。这一切都多亏了莫迪的英明管理。早些时候，我们只和伟大的俄罗斯建立了防务伙伴关系，在某种程度上还与瑞典建立了防务伙伴关系。现在，法国、美国、俄罗斯和以色列也成了我们的朋友。

America is selling its top attack helicopter to India because of India is the same buying with so much money when there are poor in the country doesn’t mean inda is changing.

美国向印度出售其先进的攻击直升机，是为了遏制。印度花这么多钱买这些直升机也是出于这个目的。但买得起装备并不意味着印度有钱了，印度还是有那么多穷人。

True...fully agree that Nehruvian era foreign policy of Non-alignment did much harm to India's interests.... gained nothing from this foreign policy...If Congis and and its allies come to power again then it will prove disastrous for India...

There is an urgent need that this Modi government must continue for another term...

尼赫鲁时代的不结盟外交政策对印度的利益造成了严重损失。这项外交政策没带来任何好处……如果国大党及其盟友再次掌权，那对印度来说将是灾难性的……
