The BJP's nemesis in waiting
``The Congress ruled the country for more than 45 years because it always had only one power centre,'' claimed a top bureaucrat from Uttar Pradesh after Kalyan Singh was replaced by a septuagenarian Ram Prakash Gupta as Chief Minister.
Filling in the blanks
The induction of four more ministers on Monday makes Atal Behari Vajpayee's ministry the largest the country ever had. It has even beaten P.V. Narasimha Rao's jumbo cabinet.
Game of the name
Bofors is prime news again, but for a different reason this time. Since Rajiv Gandhi's name figures in the chargesheet, his family and followers have raised an emotional outcry: ``How can a dead person be chargesheeted? He cannot possibly defend himself. It is all political vendetta.''
