Tejas, a tale of Indiaâs nascent aerospace system with a happy ending

In a boost to Indiaâs fledgling domestic aerospace ecosystem, the Cabinet Committee on Security
cleared the Rs 48,000-crore deal for 83 Light Combat Aircraft Tejas, which included 73 Mark 1A versions, on 13 January.

Governments often sell stakes in public sector companies to raise revenues. In recent times, the central government has used this route to exit loss-making ventures and increase non-tax revenues. The Indian government started divesting its stake in public-sector companies in the wake of a change of stance in economic policy in the early 1990s commonly known as Liberalisation, Privatisation, Globalisation . This has helped the Centre pare its fiscal deficits. The Bharatiya Janata Party-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government in its first term under Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee made strategic disinvestment in key PSBs like Bharat Aluminium Company (Balco) and Hindustan Zinc (both to Sterlite Industries), Indian Petrochemicals Corporation Limited (to Reliance Industries) and VSNL (to the Tata group).

Two ongoing significant political events stand out.
The campaign of the West Bengal assembly election is raising political heat in Delhi. If the BJP manages to win West Bengal and even if the Mamata Bannerjee-led TMC fails to stop BJP getting an impressive political space in Bengal, the Modi model of politics is expected take a giant leap forward.
If pre-election campaign in West Bengal is any indicator, we are in for some very intense and aggressive polls coming up.
Both, the BJP and the TMC are playing with the baser instincts of the voters.
BJP has the funds, resources and determination to defeat Mamata Bannerjee. It seems set to decimate the Left block and Congress. Bengali voters are likely to be more polarised before the voting day.
