Sonia and Mohna did not go to TN in the end!!
To represent them Pranab Da and PC they chose to send!!

Pranab Da assured Karuna the alliance between Congress and DMK was strong!!
Sonia and Mohna's absence proved this assurance wrong!!

Though Karuna looked miffed and part of his family disappointed!!
Especially the branch of the family that got Raja 'appointed'!!

In fact now Congress may ask DMK to nominate Azagiri kind of absentee!
Then via Bureaucrats both Chemical and Fertilizer and Communication Congress will oversee!

Someone who does not read or write any language other that Tamil will be perfect!!
Congress will say that on the longevity of the alliance this will have the right affect!!

Mohna is in a sour mood so beware!!!
He's the quite type and once in a while these kind go ballistic so take care!!

Advani got a taste, though just a wee bit, of Mohna's ire!!!
Mohna stopped short of calling Advani a liar!!

Mohna is especially disappointed with Ministry of Law!!!
Law Ministry's handling of 2 G was more like a 'see-saw'!!

And Moilly says it's the Press that is to blame!!
An excuse many will agree is out and out 'lame'!!

Congress either bangs BJP or blames the Press!!
Either 'panic' button Congress does press!!

I told you Yeddy and trouble cannot be separated!!!
As the CM who spent more time quelling rebellions tops he should be rated!!

The new scandal is that he's been an overindulgent Daddy!!
BJP needs to get rid of Yeddy!!!

Problem is BJP's got a President who is more interested in his kaam dhandhaa!!
And his stature is such that he dare not use the 'dandaa'!!!!

He's perceived to be 'good man the lantern'!!!
And does not have the standing or demeanor to be stern!!

For Big Boss Pamela Anderson has been imported!!!
'Why haven't they paid Import Duty for this import' ......this needs to be sorted??

For commercial purposes they've imported her and so this should attract import duty!!
For importing what many consider a 'beauty'!!

Confucius says…… Real live TV is just a sham!!!!
They say its impromptu but actually the act for the cam!!

Flash… Yeddy says his kids have returned the land!!
But still in the accused dock he does stand!!

Its like robbing and then returning the goods when one is caught!!
What will Court say….. for the act of robbery a lesson needs to be taught!!

BJP cannot call Congress names and let the types of Yeddy get away!!!
BJP's finger pointing will look hollow till it makes Yeddy pay!!

Fighting for over a decade to get land for charitable purpose

I am a retired army official and fighting for more than a decade to get a piece of army land for educational and charitable purpose that too on lease basis with proper approval.
Sir, though I am about 80 year old, my pious wish to open a an educational institution for extremely deserving down trodden children who can pursue further studies because of financial constrains. The proposed institution is to be opened at Shahbad Markanda, district Kurshetra, Haryana, where army land is available.
I shall be highly obliged if you can take up this issue and really tender a selfless service to humanity.

Kudos to Ms Manju Madhavan

"Kudos to Ms Manju Madhavan (IRS:1971) who did not buckle under pressure from her Minister and preferred to resign with quiet dignity rather than be a part of the Rs 1,76,000 crore telecom scam. We have all known her as a sincere upright and down to earth person. Sad that neither her Secretary nor the mighty IRS Association defended her. Unfortunately it is only the few instances of corruption in Income Tax department which find media attention and not the cases of upright officers sacrificing their personal interest for the sake of their principles and probity in public life. Wonder whether many in IRS will ponder on these issues.

Scam is equal to murder !

Scam of 1.5 lakh crore is equal to the murder of 1.5 lakh crore people of India. No recovery and no punishment is possible.

Pawan Khatri

Numerous scams

Scamsters will indeed be happy the way skeletons are tumbling out of the cupboard called Government. The frequency and the magnitude of wrong-doing is so large that no one can focus on one scam and catch and punish the guilty. If yesterday it was CWG, today it is 2G spectrum. A.Raja overtakes Kalmadi and company and who is bothered about thousands of crores in Highway authority where a few senior officers were raided, arrested and bailed out. What is Prasar Bharti's loss of about 250 crores. Peanuts. Who cares about whether action is taken against its head. Scams are aplenty. Adarsh Society is out of the headlines. Karnatka Chief minister is in the news for land grabbing. We all seem to be immobilized by the magnitude of corruption in our country. It has become irrelevant even to talk about it. Action? No way. Inaction is the key to governance, sorry, misgovernance. Even Lord Krishna's discourse to Arjuna'yada,yada,glani bhavti Bharta----'(When the sins become too many to bear, I take Avtar).I am sure even Lord would hesitate to take Avtar in this land of ours as on date.
