KongressBy: Musafir | Thursday , 13 Nov '08 7:44:39 AM Reply | Forward Congress should have reserved one MP seat and one MLA seat for Margret Alva's son, grandson, great grandson. Very great injustice done to Alva by Kongress for she sacrifised so much for Sonia Gandhi

CASH FOR TICKETSBy: NAIR P J | Wednesday , 12 Nov '08 18:57:37 PM Reply | Forward CHARITY begins at home. If they wanted to cleans the CONGRESS organization I think there will be no body remains including the chief as they are all corrupt, indisciplined and not acceptable for the majority INDIANS.

I am not crying, I simply look like that: BJP suporterBy: Reader | Wednesday , 12 Nov '08 16:41:56 PM Reply | Forward Sir, the Congress has done the right thing, but the BJP supporters are so negative, because it does not matter what the Congress does, but they will automatically write negative comments. Even if a Congressi goes to the toilet then also these BJP supporters will cry out loud with papa -papa sound.

Maggie's resignationBy: Kalyan Devikumar | Wednesday , 12 Nov '08 15:35:38 PM Reply | Forward Its been the worst that could happen to a loyalist and seasoned player like maggie.being so good to the party also brings your downfall quickly as the opponents in the party will not allow ,like Mr.moily who is much more loyal to gandhi's and cant stand Mrs.alva.Her allegation is very much true and asking for a ticket to her son is not bad but she should have seen is it worth?but politicians being politicians,all they want is money position and popularity and that brought Maggie down.Everybody knows Congress government anywhere is the most corrupt and you dont have to provce this.let Mrs.alva dvote her time to any other party and her devotion and intelligence can bring votes.Its a shgame and Congress cannot come out of it.

FACE OFFBy: M. K. SINGH | Wednesday , 12 Nov '08 15:33:15 PM Reply | Forward This is the history of the Congress that the congress is the party of sycophant leaders and bundle of fool leader. Everything is sold in the era of Congress. They sold the face (IMAGE) of the country, fraternizm, social structure, secularism. They have nothing left to sale and the voice raised by Mrs. ALVA is true and it is not an allegation at all. The Congress has now time to face off themselves not the removal of good leaders.

R U better than her?By: Raj | Wednesday , 12 Nov '08 15:55:10 PM Reply | Forward Oh, yes, people of yoursorts have done a good job during the last 50 years doing that. You are like a prostitute goving a sermon on virginity.

Sir, I wonder.....By: RAM | Wednesday , 12 Nov '08 15:09:35 PM Reply | Forward Sir, I wonder when will the BJP take such an action to sack Advani, Katara human smugglingwala etc.for their negative roles?Why don't they (BJP) sack all those involved in petrol pump scam?

Delayed allegationBy: Aby | Wednesday , 12 Nov '08 13:58:05 PM Reply | Forward If the allegation is true, Why did she wait, till her son did not get a party ticket.This Cash/Ticket business is not new incident , it is happening inside all Parties.

Alva's resignationBy: Parminder Singh | Wednesday , 12 Nov '08 13:42:50 PM Reply | Forward The action taken against Margret Alva for indiscipline is OK. However, it would be prudent to look into the allegations made, especially about money-for-ticket ,discreetly, but quickly, and suitable remedial steps taken. Get to the bottom of the issue rather than brushing it under the carpet. A clear message must also go that any demand for money for ticket should be reported to the Party High Command, and that his/her name would be kept secret. That would send the correct message that the Party does not encourage corruption.

She spoke the truthBy: n.krishna | Wednesday , 12 Nov '08 13:32:18 PM Reply | Forward The bottom line is that the congress party is now in the hands of criminals. Congress party is the only political party in the world that was named as recipient of bribe, in the UN investigation report that investigated the Saddam Hussains oil scam.
