Many surprises in store for Gandhi family

Gandhi family knows that it is not the benevolent types like Vajpayee and Brijesh Misra who are running the government, but hard nuts like Modi and Dpoval. Perhaps the noose is getting closer. And that is why the family is so jumpy. One can expect many surprises in the coming days.

Investigate all complaints

Prasad's comment on anonymous complaint is right. Any complaint, be it anonymous or otherwise, should be properly investigated. Mainly anonymous complaints are made on the powerful higher ups, so it should be given due weightage to eradicate corruption, etc.
