Deshmukh resignes.By: padmesh kumar varma | Friday , 5 Dec '08 1:52:40 AM Reply | Forward Dear Sir, At long last the persecutors were successful. He has been made a scape goat for the faults of others. There appears to be nothing wrong even if he took his son and a film producer with him to the Taj. Mr. LK Adwani used to take his wife and the daughter on official foreign tours when he used to be the deputy prime minister and the home minister. Deshmukh has become a prey of party and media intrigues.

Wake upBy: Novice | Friday , 5 Dec '08 0:52:41 AM Reply | Forward nothing new...The next will resign indicating some other case but the system will not change. It's Indians to decide and kick the worst so called (in the language of Omar Obdulla) polical prost.tutes

Where does the buck stop?By: Mrinal Mandal | Friday , 5 Dec '08 0:22:46 AM Reply | Forward Instead of this resignation drama with moral responsibility, a better approach is to find out who is actually responsible for these security lapses, and penalize them. It is not the job of the CM to stand on the Mumbai shore and look for any attackers. The security of the country is in many hands. If Maha CM is one of the culprits, throw him out. Otherwise, there is no end in the resignation drama. For example, the Indian PM had some responsibility too - let him resign also. Congress President selected Deshmukh as Maha CM - she should also resign for her wrong selection. Where does the buck stop?

India's Mugabe?By: TV Puram | Thursday , 4 Dec '08 23:00:55 PM Reply | Forward Robert Mugabe is still going strong after two and a half decades. He, along with Deshmukh may be allowed the similar quantum and quality of glory.( The latter had to perform 'Lavani' for Sonia family, though.)

next what ? Governership ?By: Surya | Thursday , 4 Dec '08 20:58:51 PM Reply | Forward 'Moral responsibility' , whoever coined this sacred pharse would never have imagined that it will be abused by wretched indian politician as a means of an escape route. Its a very convinient way to run away from a burning house after the party. Deshmukh's government minted crores as the real estate boomed during his reign. Its like loot and plunder during broad day light. As some one rightly said, he will be made governer of some state and will enjoy kingly perks there at people's tax money only to come back when the new CM ( as usual ) messes up. Hope this cycle breaks some day.
