'Forced to quit'-As said by the Times Now today morn, it was absolutely the word. The scams have now paved for a new twist and twirl with two ministers, both charged for two different stories Mr.Bansal,for a family corrupt case(as said and hope all got it)...and Mr.Aswani kumar,who is expected to preserve the law and order,being charged for 'vetting' CBI's affidavit in the Coalgate affair...

It was all drama yesterday...At the morn,when the Times Now started exhibiting the evidences one by one, to the time when both the ministers in the span of minutes arrived at 7 race course road in their official cars to put in their papers to the PM...

In ma point of view ,the eventful happenings this week clearly indicates that it does not depend on the party which rule, but exactly on the people in and around which brings in all these frauds.......

And finally the pak prisoner Sanaullah dies...and Pak has asked for an international enquiry on the same..the incident throwed him to hospital a day after the poor INDIAn prisoner Sarabjith Singh who was brutally attacked and killed in the Pak jail...

The Pak upcoming minister(as said by himself) in the coming elections Mr.Nawaz Sharif just had told yesterday that if he comes in to the power,he will stop all the cruelty against INDIA...And rightly,the incident which happened today clearly indicated that the relations between Pak and India will always remain a burning issue..

The times before 1947,when both were a single nation is being forgotten now...The British policy of 'Divide and Rule',which provoked Mr.Jinnah and his countrymen to fight for a separate muslim stonghold country has now seen its course...We can now only hope for a better situation...lets pray that the times before 1947 will be remembered at some juncture.....

And finally the karnataka polls are  out.....The reflections are quite clear about the reactions of people to what happened there about 6months ago..The uprising of a third union JDS(which had a stonghold once upon a time) and the single made party of Yedyurappa(who created the whole lot stress to the BJP govt through his scam),KJP which bagged some of BJP's seats ...and the congress can now smile....They can single handed ly rule one more south Indain state now...The story that happened in Himachal Pradesh is now repeating itself in Karnataka

The people have started reacting to reality...But it is still to happen at many places..The scam stories of Chidambharam,Reddy brothers,Raja....still many to be added to the list...Anyhw, BJP has lost one more state...The stronghold at karnataka is now a dream...The comeback of JDS and the victory of Congress...The election has brought the state to a new era..Lets hope for a better governance @ karnataka...
