In an exclusive interview, former Chief of the Naval Staff Admiral DK Joshi tells NDTV that the armed forces have been saddled with a dysfunctional and an inefficient model. Admiral Joshi, who resigned after a submarine mishap, says for him "being a chief was not just about preening on national TV on Republic Day parades when in actual fact, you are unable to get a set of batteries for your submarines."
