Err....no money.....! The UPA government had pretty much exhausted the coffers by 2013 & were already in the creative accounting mode. There was no chance of any purchase regardless of what the IAF might have wanted
Err.....what exactly is the reality check here?
I have no particular issues with the cartoons, even though two of them are in poor taste (the first more so). The one of the elephant on the track was NYT's commentary on the Paris talks & no one can really take issue with that even if the idea...
