Best Choice for Home MinisterBy: Jai Sri Ram | Monday , 1 Dec '08 20:14:42 PM Reply | Forward I slightly disagree with you Mr Sarma. I feel Rahulji Gandhiji's family cook and doormat would make a better Home Minister than Rahulji Gandhiji, because under UPA a non-functional Home Minister is needed.

Pro rich FM has been shown the right wayBy: S.C. Aggarwal | Monday , 1 Dec '08 18:44:57 PM Reply | Forward PM must be thanked for removing P.Chidambaram from Mkinistry of Finance. Mr. PC has a policy "Levy more and more taxes on the public. Remove all the taxes on the rich." Accordingly, a person who is earning income of say Rs.1000 crore from dividend is not asked to pay any income-tax while a senior or non senior TAX Payer with interest income of say Rs. 100,000 is being asked to pay @ 30%. Now PM will hold the charge of Ministry of Finance and he will definitely levy tax on the rich industrialists.

DISINCLINED HOME MINISTER!By: BHARATMATAKIJAI | Monday , 1 Dec '08 18:25:30 PM Reply | Forward The last thing we needed was a DISINCLINED Home Mnister! Shows that we have now reached probably the lowest point in our so called "war against terror". The decent thing to do for PC was to resign if he was ordered to take a post he was DISINCLINED TO! What tamasha is this.. he is now trying to score some political points.. or more likely this clever fella is paving the way to make an excuse when some security problem happens under his regime!! WHAT A SMART ALEC... UNFORTUNATELY WE HAVE TO LIVE WITH SUCH POLITICIANS !!!

PC is a GEMBy: Sigh | Tuesday , 2 Dec '08 3:26:18 AM Reply | Forward PM is one of the honest politician. He is good in commerce and finance. So his comments are valid. Who else you have in this country ? Lalu ? Sharat Pawar ? I know you would like politicians like Lalu who can offer some commedy statements. PC is the man for this job.

PC will do a good HMBy: PF | Monday , 1 Dec '08 17:58:26 PM Reply | Forward It is quite obvious for someone who is handling Finance portfolio to take home ministry post. However, given PC's attitude and approach, he will do a good job of cleaning internal and external terrorism. All the best to you PC.

DIS inclinedBy: Ameet | Monday , 1 Dec '08 17:16:23 PM Reply | Forward One should not take a post if you are disinclined. Surely there are many competent people in the Party who are inclined!

PC as Hoe MinisterBy: Ravishekar | Monday , 1 Dec '08 16:47:37 PM Reply | Forward Maybe now some anti social elements from society and other scourge in jails will get a relief package just like the middle men in the agricultural department got farmers' loan waivers.

PC as HM.. By: BHARATMATAKIJAI | Monday , 1 Dec '08 18:33:21 PM Reply | Forward You are absolutely right.. the anti-social elements that will ensure that this lame-duck government will be voted back to power through goondagiri and false secularism!! What a joke. PC as a Disinclined Home Minister.. a joke that we did'nt need at this juncture. Looks like the PM was desparate to take over Finance Ministry and used this oppty. Obviously is seems like he too has leant to play politics after all..

A Disinclined Home Minister?By: Balu | Monday , 1 Dec '08 16:29:22 PM Reply | Forward You have a Man here who is to be the Home Minister who is/was disinclined to take it!!!! What kind of a message are we giving to the ourselves and the world? If he is disinclined his reply should have been an emphatic 'NO". More despicable is the statement that he is taking it up because Sonia and PM wanted him to. We want someone who is his own man. Not someone who hides behind the 'pallu' of someone else. The people of this country want and demand positive, affirmative, decisive action not pussy-footing. It is a terrible start. I am sure this man will flatter to deceive.

PC as new Home MinisterBy: V.Muthuswami | Monday , 1 Dec '08 16:19:12 PM Reply | Forward PC is an intelligent guy and quite smart too. Given good support from intelligence agencies and bucreaucrats, probably he can handle the hot stuff of Home Ministry. In any case, he cannot be worse than our super-duper Advani and his ilks. Poor Shivraj Patil was certainly a misfit and inept, result of which we have suffered and paid a heavy price in human lives, over these years. Enough is enough.

I am relelived, I was disinclinedBy: Bhaskar V Shetty | Monday , 1 Dec '08 16:17:09 PM Reply | Forward Mr.Shivaraj patel after being forced to resigned said, I am releived. Mr.Chindaram on taking charges says I was disinclined to take the charge as home minister. My question was our Home ministry was in the rights hand and now is it in the right hand.

Political terroristBy: Praveen | Monday , 1 Dec '08 15:50:43 PM Reply | Forward The main problem we have is the terrorists in the form of the Politicians... Until these guys change it is merly difficult ot change the current situation where Our Country is., mere resigning doesnot mean anything to the people who suffered.. It is nothing but these politicians are moving to a much safer zone where they wont be questioned once they are out of the ruling. Shoot these people or call a war on such politicians who try to make out there betterment from any such disaster. Instead youngster please come forward and lets start a Mission to make Our Country safe..
