Mission Shakti  

NCP general secretary DP Tripathi on Thursday said Narendra Modi's address to the nation on India's successful test of the A-SAT missile was a "violation" of the model code of conduct

In a statement, Russia said, "We noted the test of anti-satellite weapons conducted by India on March 27, as a result of which an Indian spacecraft - a target - in a low earth orbit was hit by an interceptor ballistic missile."

Narendra Modi urged people to vote wisely in the upcoming Lok Sabha election. He asked people what kind of government they want: A government which attacks the enemy in the house or who run away from the battleground?

Calling it as 'Mission Shakti', Prim Minister Narendra Modi said it is an important step towards securing India's safety, economic growth and technological advancement

In Mission Shakti, India used indigenously made Anti-Satellite Weapons (A-SAT) for hitting the live satellite target, which was on a ‘Low Earth Orbit’ at a height of 300 kilometers from the earth’s surface

Calling it Mission Shakti, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that India has entered an elite club of space powers by destroying a low earth orbit satellite using a missile. There are only four countries in the world that have achieved this feat. This includes America, Russia and China while India stands at the fourth place.

ISRO never got too much of attention of the UPA government. During UPA era, ISRO’s budget hardly increased. From around Rs 4,000 crore in 2009 to Rs 5,500 crore in 2014. What is it seeking credit for?

Union finance minister and senior BJP leader Arun Jaitley, in a cryptic comment, lashed out at the opposition on Wednesday. The astute lawyer that Jaitley is, he quickly added a legal caveat saying, his mention of the word ‘idiot’ does not refer to any of his ‘political friends’
 

The desperate Congress, checkmated by the Modi government, still tried to garner a share of the credit for the Mission Shakti success, ending up with a lame tweet that gave rise a lot of amusement on the microblogging site

The Congress on Wednesday exposed its desperation again just days ahead of the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, when chief Rahul Gandhi and a host of other leaders could not digest the success of Mission Shakti that has put India in the super elite club of space powers

Following PM Narendra Modi's tweet, within minutes it went viral and in an hour the tweet had garnered 24,536 Retweets 74,497 Likes and 17,000 comments.
