Maharashtra C.M. selection processBy: Ranu | Thursday , 4 Dec '08 17:42:15 PM Reply | Forward As an Indian I feel real sorrow at the lack of outrage at the undemocratic decision making process of particularly the Congress Government.

The congress president is partly responsible for the sad state of affairs for putting loyality to herself above competence. She and her family are protected as national assets while Indians has no security.

Deshmukh By: Rajni | Wednesday , 3 Dec '08 21:58:31 PM Reply | Forward Vilasrao can now join RGV and Riteish in the movie. Politicians are shameless and are only greedy for Chair and Money. They do not want to do any work for Citizens. Vilasrao is a very good example.
