Too much corruptionBy: Gautam Kapoor | Thursday , 9 Jul '09 18:28:23 PM Reply | Forward Were the law enforceament people waiting for this tragedy to happen? How did they manage to corner 300 bootleggers and close scores of illicit liquor stores in just 2 days? That's because they have all the information but are so corrupt that even the law of the state means nothing to them. Poor people have died but who is answerable? Absolutely disgusting....

COLLUSIONBy: NIRANJAN | Thursday , 9 Jul '09 16:53:23 PM Reply | Forward IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO HAVE THE ILLEGAL HOOCH FACTORIES WITHOUT PROTECTION FROM THE HIGHER UPS IN MINISTRY. EVEN THE POLICEMEN CANNOT PROTECT THEM. SO TRY TO GET THE TOP MAN FIRST.

Where was good governance Mr. Modi ?By: Naim Naqvi | Thursday , 9 Jul '09 13:31:29 PM Reply | Forward Off late, Mr. Modi is losing not only his popularity but his grip over the governance of the state also. He is now no where to be seen in the heigher eclelons of BJP and no one cares to what he says. It is true that these kind of hooch-tragedies could happen in any state but they have the magnanimity of accept and feel sorry for it. Here is a 'winbag' at the helm of the affairs who could do no wrong and was eugolized for his examplary administration from all the ramparts of BJP. Gujrat is a state which was proud of its liquor ban. Suspension of few officers or the sham shaow of inquiry commission would not erase the stigma of bad governance.

Hooch tragedy i GujerathaBy: MOHAN DADDIKAR | Thursday , 9 Jul '09 13:28:25 PM Reply | Forward It clearaly shows the extent to which all our policemen have become corrupt and negligent in their duties. Some distiller and policement will be held responsible for the tragdy and prosecuted. The courts will take two decades to decide the case and most probably everybody involved will be let free for want of reliable evidnce.
