Bombay is not BangkokBy: Kishan | Saturday , 6 Dec '08 14:31:37 PM Reply | Forward I think just in an effort to be different, Alia is missing the point which is "we the common men are doing our duty, we elect you to serve the people and govern the country in an honest and clean way, not to line your pockets and flaunt your VIP status, so do your duty as we do ours." What is wrong with that ? Why does she want to be status quoist?In today's article Shekhar also made a similar point plus he while deriding the Mumbaikars praised the common man who votes in votes out politicians without demanding any level of performance from them. This is the precise reasoning given by politicians themselves because they have an understanding between them that every five years or earlier one set of corrupt people will replace another set of corrupt ones. Come on Alia! give us some more constructive ideas!

PM was imposed on UsBy: Vishnu | Friday , 5 Dec '08 21:53:08 PM Reply | Forward The fact is that our PM was not elected by 71% of the people rather he was imposed upon us by a great-sacrifice... sacrifice of national interest that is. Had our PM been elected by even 50% of the people, state of the nation would be much different from what it is today!

Unresearched articleBy: neil | Friday , 5 Dec '08 1:47:14 AM Reply | Forward "PM had been voted in with a 71 per cent majority in 2006" Simply not true, the party formed a coalition government as it didn't get enough votes to form a government alone. since been found guilty of rigging election. Somwai was only made PM a few months ago. "This same constitution ousted another politician — for hosting his own cookery show" again untrue, the constitution has been rewritten. You obviously don't know thai politics and haven't been bothered to research the subject before writing this article.
