Talking to reporters after dedicating the Navy's long range maritime patrol aircraft P-81 to the nation at INS Rajali naval air station near here, the Minister said OROP was not the promise made by the government, but an assurance by a political party, which " to the best of its understanding has satisfied " itself that it has completed what it had promised...................... .
