The report dies not say why the govt is going to borrow so much? Currency manipulation??

 

[sob]

No this money cannot be used for currency manipulation. This is to cover the shortfall between the planned expenditure and the tax receipts. The figure cold go up more thus keeping the upward pressure on the interest rates and hurting the industrial growth, by denying cheaper credit to private companies.

Cancel the MMRCA deal and take 7.54bln and give the rest to HAL to build a 4.5gen twin engine aircraft from the LCA base and that would solve everything...
