Home Minister Chidambaram says it is government’s duty to protect the life of Gandhian Anna Hazare! True? (Comment on Hazare’s proposed fast in Delhi against the government version of Lokpal Bill) Mr. HM, don’t you think it is your duty to respect his ideology?
Mr. Chandy, Kerala Chief Minister, gives up vigilance portfolio. A vigilance court has directed a probe against Chandy to bring out his alleged involvement in the Kerala palmolein scam. Good, he assigns the vigilance portfolio to one of his cabinet ministers! Why couldn’t he ask the court to supervise the probe as in the case of the SC-supervised probe into the 2G scam? Also, another matter that disturbs my commonsense is how could the finance minister be absolved even when the then CM Karunakaran and the finance secretary PJ Thomas were named in the probe report? Do you want me to believe the secretary bypassed the finance minister when the decision to import palmolein was taken?
Then, one of the Kerala minister says he or his team of ministers are not cowards to resign. Cowards to resign? I don’t understand this phrase. One needs to be courageous and statesman-like to resign in the face of an indictment, Mr. Minister!
One scion of a political party says he is ashamed to be an Indian. (In the backdrop of the alleged police brutality against peasants during protests against land acquisition) Interestingly, a leading TV channel says 43% of the Indians prefer him to be the next prime minister! Alas! Where are we heading to?
Attention! If our government response to the Anna Hazare's agitationto cleanse our stinking political and social system is illogical and bullying, how could the Maoists respond to government's call to join mainstream politics? They might be laughing and asking us, "See, what is happening to a Gandhian? Don't you see the same fate happening to us if we join the mainstream and raise our voice against our system?"

The poll that you had mentioned need not be taken seriously(atleast to me), Media has created all the hype about RG and his no-sense acts... and remember, this same media predicted DMKs marginal victory in the recent state polls.. :) and the last point u had mentioned is quite sensitive...
I know it is sensitive, but it is not seditious. And, I can't be seditious!
