“What the defence minister tweeted on Sunday is correct but that is not enough,” a senior HAL official told The Telegraph. “Our defence minister has not made a single visit to any of the HAL facilities till date,” said the official. But since that’s a forgotten story now, at least we require the LCA orders as quickly as possible,” said the official. He said the Rs 26,570 crore the defence minister’s official handle tweeted about would hardly be of much help. But we need the LCA order to stay alive,” he said.
