We can use their technology and plans, but let the work be done by national firms, sponsored by the govt.

 @B2FWJQLanswered…1mo1MO

No, but both local and international collaborations are okay if implemented for sustainable development.

 @9SY8YFZfrom Guam  answered…6mos6MO

There is an bidding system in India for infrastructure projects, in which private and public enterprises can participate

 @9PQS55Sanswered…8mos8MO

No, Give opportunity to local private firms to collaborate with foreign firms to build infrastructure.

 @9PPBDMWanswered…8mos8MO

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

 @9L559W7answered…11mos11MO

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

 @9HWKFCRanswered…1yr1Y

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

Jon Stewart Begs Democrats To ‘Please Stop Trotting Out Chuck Schumer!'

Jon Stewart criticized Democrats for repeatedly using Chuck Schumer as their spokesperson against Trump, calling his performances ineffective and monotonous.Stewart mocked Schumer's response to Trump's trade war threats, particularly his simplistic explanation about Mexican imports like Corona beer and avocados.The former Daily Show host expressed frustration at Schumer's basic observation that "guacamole is made of avocados" as a response to complex trade policy issues.Stewart sarcastically highlighted the Democrats' poor strategic choice in selecting Schumer to counter Trump, whom he described as "one of the most savvy presidential media manipulators in history."The comedian ridiculed Schumer's appearance and presentation style, particularly mocking his use of reading glasses positioned low on his nose.Stewart's criticism centered on the Democratic leadership's judgment in repeatedly choosing an "uninteresting" and "monotone" spokesperson.The commentary addressed Trump's threats of tariffs against Canada and Mexico, though focused more on the Democratic response than the policy itself.Stewart used hyperbole to emphasize his point, stating that Schumer's speaking makes him "want to bomb Canada."The piece highlighted the perceived disconnect between Democratic messaging strategy and effective opposition to Trump's policies.Stewart's criticism suggested a broader frustration with Democratic leadership's media strategy and public presentation.

Gavin Newsom Defends Immigrants With $25 Million

Governor Newsom signed legislation allocating $50 million total to protect California's policies from Trump administration challenges and defend immigrants facing deportation, split evenly between the state's DOJ and legal defense groups.The funding comes as California anticipates renewed conflicts with Trump's administration, following over 100 legal actions against his first term policies on issues including climate, water, and immigration.Assembly Speaker Robert Rivas justified the funding by characterizing the Trump administration as "out-of-control" and threatening to Californians' constitutional rights.The signing occurred just after Newsom's Washington visit to secure federal disaster aid for January's devastating Los Angeles wildfires, which claimed more than two dozen lives.California recently enacted a separate $2.5 billion fire relief package, with expectations of federal reimbursement for disaster response costs.Republican lawmakers criticized the legal defense funding as a political distraction from wildfire recovery efforts, with State Senate Minority Leader Brian Jones calling it a "slush fund."Critics raised concerns about the possibility of funds being used to defend immigrants with serious felony convictions, though Newsom indicated this wasn't the intended purpose.The legislation emerged from a special session Newsom called shortly after Trump's election in November, demonstrating California's proactive stance against anticipated federal challenges.During Trump's first term, California initiated more than 120 lawsuits against his administration, spending approximately $42 million on legal battles.Annual legal expenses fighting federal policies during Trump's first term ranged from $2 million to nearly $13 million per year.
