Manmohan–Sonia Gandhi Tussle Forces India to Reject US Bids for IAF Deal

US 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.

Dinesh Singh Rawat Says ,
I do agree with this this resultant of Manmohan-Sonia Gandhi Tussle for PM ship for Rahul Gandhi

UK’s Commissioner to India Richard Stagg Bats for Vedanta’s U turn

New Delhi (ABC Live): The United Kingdom High Commissioner to India Richard Stagg has started open support to the acquisition of Cairn India by UK’s mining group Vedanta by opposing the already agreed terms and conditions of acquisition deal.

Information to this regard has come into notice when on 31st March British High Commissioner to India Richard Stagg and written to the Prime Minister's Office (PMO) saying that an approval subject to state-owned ONGC being allowed to recover Rs 14,000 crore royalty payable on behalf of Cairn India will render the transaction unviable.

It is to mention that Oil and Natural Gas Corp (ONGC) has 30 percent stake in Cairn India's mainstay Rajasthan oilfields, but it is liable to pay royalty on Cairn's 70 percent share as well.

Royalty at the rate of 20 percent of the crude price is payable to the state government and ONGC, a month before the Cairn-Vedanta deal was announced in August 2010, had cited provisions of field contract to demand its cost recovery.

The Indian Oil Ministry is backing the ONGC demand that royalty payment be added to the project cost, which can be recovered from the sale of oil before profits are split between the partners and the government.

However, such a move is being opposed by Cairn Energy and Vedanta as it will lower Cairn India's profitability.

"A decision to approve the transaction on the basis of such a pre-condition would fundamentally change the commercial basis upon which the transaction had been agreed as well as unfairly impact minority shareholders in Cairn India," Stagg wrote.

"It would therefore render the proposed transaction unviable," he added
Stagg mentioned that since CCEA was meeting on that day (March 31), he "thought it would be useful" for him to bring to PMO's attention the issue of pre-condition.

However, the sources said CCEA did not meet that day and Stagg's letter may have been triggered by media reports of a Cabinet meeting on that day.

The CCEA met on 6th April and referred the issue of attaching pre-conditions to a Group of Ministers (GoM), headed by Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee. After the GoM decision, the issue will be sent to the cabinet.

"Whilst arguments may be made as to whether or not royalty may be cost recoverable under the provisions of the current Production Sharing Contracts, there are provisions in the contract to deal with any dispute over whether it is or it is not," Stagg wrote.

Vedanta, a mining company controlled by billionaire Anil Agarwal, with no experience of oil and gas business, agreed in August to buy at least 40 percent and as much as 51 percent in Cairn India from the London-listed Cairn Energy.

Dinesh Singh Rawat's View: This is not a UK government act but only the locally supported by The United Kingdom High Commissioner to India Richard Stagg for the best reasons known to him, as it does not has backing from UK government.
