India should build their own infra-building capability and invite participation/involvement from foreign firms later. They should ensure fair competition for everyone.

id say the options here are pretty rigid , one is asking me to devalue my own men and their capabilities and the second one is a gamble , we should promote more india-based firms as to become more self sufficient in near future but also use international corps to benifit us

If the local private firms can reach the standards of international infrastructure then they should be given a chance. If the private international firms can do it for lower price-greater quality then they can be given a chance. Personally i think the local firms should be able to improve their standards

 @9HHL3P9answered…1yr1Y

It should be a balance between the two Local for increasing employment of people International to attract more international firms to invest in india

 @9H4L9QVanswered…1yr1Y

Yes, by maintaning balance in fair treatment of local firms and international firms to build high class infrastructure

 @9DN3JXKanswered…2yrs2Y

Not to just single firms, it should be divided.

 @9DM77BQanswered…2yrs2Y

Allow private infrastructure development

 @9D4H7NBanswered…2yrs2Y

Yes, they can since our economy is a mixed model but preference should be given to local firms too. But if international firms are more cost effective and provide better services then they should be given the job of building infrastructure

House Democrats Filibuster Flip-Flop: Keep It When the GOP’s in Charge, Kill It When We Are

Filibuster for me, but not for thee. Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.), an outspoken critic of the Senate filibuster, indicated Monday that she will not support axing the procedural hurdle as long as Republicans control the White House and both houses of Congress. “Am I championing getting rid of the filibuster now when the Senate has the trifecta? No,” the chairwoman of the Congressional Progressive Caucus said at a press conference on Capitol Hill. “But had we had the trifecta, I would have been, because we have to show that government can deliver,” Jayapal added. The Senate filibuster rule, which requires a 60-vote threshold to end debate and pass most types of legislation in the upper chamber, is seen as the best chance Democrats have at blocking the adoption of President-elect Donald Trump agenda – with Republicans taking a 53-47 seat advantage in the Senate and expected to retain a slim majority in the House. Jayapal, as recently as September, was pushing to “abolish” what she called the “Jim Crow filibuster.” “The filibuster was originally created *by mistake* in 1806,” she wrote on X. “Every day we don’t abolish it is just as big a mistake.”The Washington Democrat dislikes that the procedural tool makes it difficult for progressives to ram their agenda through Congress. “It’s the filibuster OR an assault weapons ban. It’s the filibuster OR codified abortion access. It’s the filibuster OR raising the minimum wage. It’s the filibuster OR protecting voting rights. The choice is clear. Abolish the Jim Crow filibuster,” Jayapal tweeted. The progressive rep argued Monday that passing a liberal agenda would’ve “built some trust with the American people.”“If we had had control of the trifecta and gotten rid of the filibuster to pass minimum wage, to pass paid sick leave, to pass many of these things that are passing – abortion access – that are passing on ballot measures that are so popular … then I think we would have built some trust with the American people,” Jayapal argued.
