The triumphant launch of Agni-3 missile has bolstered India’s strategic arsenal, earning effusive praise from Ladakh Lieutenant Governor Kavinder Gupta. During his response in Jammu, he framed the event as emblematic of India’s resolute journey towards defense autonomy under the current administration.
Gupta detailed the multifaceted strategy: promoting Made-in-India armaments while investing heavily in next-gen tech. This test-fire exemplifies that vision, sharpening India’s edge in regional power dynamics.
Optimism flowed as Gupta endorsed America’s tariff cut to 18 percent for Indian products. He credited India’s vast market clout and smart countermeasures—scouting new trade avenues post-hikes—that tipped the scales in bilateral talks.
This breakthrough benefits agriculture sectors like fruits, veggies, and lentils for farmers, alongside affordable goods for buyers. Gupta forecasted accelerated economic momentum, crediting astute national leadership.
On Pakistan’s string of bombings killing innocents, Gupta unleashed criticism, portraying it as a terror incubator with a domineering military, active extremists, and rudderless politics. Leaders there teeter on the brink of incarceration, hanging, or banishment, he observed.
Invoking the Bhasmasura legend, Gupta asserted Pakistan is hastening its downfall through self-inflicted wounds.
In sports, Gupta’s joy overflowed for India’s U-19 World Cup victory. He spotlighted Khelo India schemes and PM Modi’s boosts as catalysts for rising medal hauls and cricket’s—and other sports’—global dominance.
