  Idea for @RahulGandhi election promises - revive BSNL and MTNL properly. Easy bookings, good coverage. If the private companies need to make a profit, limit it to 2g/3g, but keep their low budget phone plans alive. You can simply stand on stage and read out their recharge plan prices to get all the votes. Right now the public can't use them widely due to coverage issues. And this is not just for the poor. You can keep a phone no you mostly need for OTPs alive for a year in Rs. 321 if you're a Tamil Nadu police officer (as a comment below pointed out) - this could be extended to the poor! Loads of people who use separate numbers for banking and social media would vote for this.

  The evidence-based conclusion — no spinning, no partisanship: UPA deserves genuine credit for: ✅ INS Vikrant keel, Vikramaditya deal, P-75 contract ✅ RTI, Aadhaar foundation, nuclear deal ✅ CPSE framework (Maharatna/Navratna architecture) ✅ T-90 armour, C-17 airlift, Arjun Mk1 induction ✅ IIT/IIM expansion, MGNREGA, RTE UPA's honest failures: ❌ 28-year artillery gap (not broken despite 10 years in power) ❌ NPA crisis — hid ₹8–10L cr bad loans via CDR ❌ World's #1 arms importer; domestic industry starved ❌ MMRCA: 10 years, 0 jets, 0 orders for HAL ❌ No insolvency law — defaulters ruled banks ❌ Bofors, AgustaWestland — defence procurement corrupted NDA's record: ✅ Artillery drought ended. INSAS replaced. Ammo indigenised 91%. ✅ IBC 2016 — paradigm shift in creditor rights ✅ Defence exports 34×. Production 3.3×. ✅ Vikrant commissioned. Arihant + Arighaat operational. ✅ Operation Sindoor — 9 targets, indigenous weapons, validated. NDA's honest gaps: ❌ Kaveri engine still stuck (multi-decade inherited problem) ❌ P-75I unsigned (2026) ❌ Disinvestment targets repeatedly missed ❌ Agnipath: bold idea, rushed rollout ❌ BSNL/MTNL — still unresolved The bottom line: on public sector, defence, banking, Navy and Army — NDA's structural record is stronger. UPA's contributions were often real but came with corruption, paralysis, and hidden rot. NDA fixed the rot — expensively, sometimes slowly, but durably.

  MTNL — ₹17,571 Cr NCD Rating Still On Watch India Ratings has maintained MTNL’s ₹17,571 Cr NCDs at IND AAA(CE), but the Rating Watch with Negative Implications continues. The key concern: delays in funding the designated account meant for bond servicing. The rating is supported by an unconditional GoI guarantee and the structured payment mechanism. MTNL had just ₹115 Cr of cash as of March 31, 2026, which is being used for interest payments until asset monetisation proceeds are exhausted. India Ratings expects continued GoI support, but any non-adherence to the payment mechanism could increase the risk of delays in servicing the bonds.

  @BabbleBauble @yatinmota Many years ago I tried MTNL Dolphin mobile network (in Mumbai), immediately once the validity was over, I did not continue. If I’m correct, there were 7-8 operators at that time. Coming to MTNL landline now, I raised a complaint 5-6 years ago (or maybe longer) for disturbance in the connection. At that time Reliance Jio had just launched their free broadband and landline service. It was free for almost 2 years. Till date MTNL engineer has not visited. Eventually I stopped using that. Not sure if it was a coordinated fault in the telephone line.

  A space agency should build rockets. NASA builds rockets. It's common sense. Then, BJP has had bad record with privatization. they killed the BSNL and MTNL. they only privatize wheh it could benefit certain crony capitalists.

  @theamitkpaul Without going into what you said, the origin of the discussion was the space sector. That is what I commented on to begin with. I stand by what I said about Space sector start ups doing good work. Likewise, service standards, costs, and technology in telecom has improved leaps and bounds. I do not mourn the demise of MTNL and BSNL at all. I see no reason to do so, other than ideological nostalgia. The other thing you said about the chaebols is a discussion by itself. But the bogey of Adani cannot be used as a veto to perpetuate public sector inefficiencies which didn't cause growth or innovation, but were somehow acceptable because a govt servant making unaccounted money didn't seem as bad. It's a long discussion. And I'm out for now.
