India cannot afford to be a soft power for the next few years and it will be compelled to take hard decisions, said National Security Adviser Ajit Doval.&nbsp;

India needs a strong, stable and decisive government for the next 10 years to achieve our national, political, economic and strategic objectives. A weak coalition will be bad for India, he said and added all defence hardware must be 100 per cent transfer of technology.&nbsp;

''If we have to become a major power then our economy has to be big, it has to be globally competitive and that can be only when it is technologically ahead,'' Doval said.&nbsp;

''We are not governed by people's representative, but by the laws made by them, therefore the rule of law is extremely important,'' Doval said.&nbsp;&nbsp;

The populist measures shouldn't take precedence over national requirements, he said and&nbsp;urged the Indian private sector firms to promote Indian strategic interest.&nbsp;

''China's Alibaba and others have become big companies. We want the Indian private sector companies should perform and promote Indian strategic interest,'' he said.&nbsp;
