what is NDA?

NDA - National Defence Academy .. You could google for getting the exact fitness criteria... it needs 12th standard or equivalent in science. Age shud be abt 16-18 and there won't be any cast based selection.

NDA- its an exam for students appeared for 10 th & 12 exams. NDA is National Defence Academy

Some heirs of Goebels speaking for the scamsters here, are harping on the discredited slogan that NDA is corrupt! They could not prove the 2000 crore Kargil defense scam which they made a big fuss of, that ultimately reduced to 10% of the claims, going by the pending case on date. OK, even if some cases are pendng what are you doing with all that, with your powers as rulers? Why do you dig up a Shorabudin case out of a hundreds, just to chase the principal opponent and go on harping the Post Godhra and Ayodhya? Pin them in those big corruption cases you talk about here! Your party's govt won't, because there isn't any truth in any of your declarations. Simply foul mouthing everyone who criticise your party's loots won't help you Congress fans here, to erase the loads of shames you brought on the party, its govt and the nation!!
