An order was placed for 148 jets and 36 have been delivered. The Congress government is not giving importance to the country’s safety,” she said.She said the BJP would contest the election in an alliance with parties other than the Congress and Dravidian parties. “The Tirupur gathering would be turning point because people from nine Lok Sabha constituencies are expected to attend,” she said.
