Mayawati sacks Khushuwaha from BSP on corruption charges. Immediately the BJP embrances him. With one stroke its whole anti corruption campaign got a set back. What is the use of Advani's Rath Yatra against corruption when a corrupt person who has FIR filed against him is admitted to the party. Of late the difference between Congress and BJP is that of tweedeldee and tweedeldum

Having lost Melbourne and Sydney tests there was some hope that the Indian Cricket team would at least put up a semblance of fight against the Aussies. But in the first innings of the third test which started today ie13/1/2012 it meekly surrendered to the Aussie paceman to 161. The batting greats have not shown any resistance. I think the team needs to be overhauled to include youngsters and players like Sachin, Dravid and Laxman should be asked to retire as they have aged as far as the game is concerned.

"Nakeeran" the Tamil weekly published a story regarding J.Jayalalithaa, CM of TN that she was a beaf eater and questioned how a brahmin could do that. This sparked protests from the AIADMK cadre who burned down copies of the weekly. Defamation suit had been filed with the Madras High Court which directed the Weekly to prominently publish an apology. Why does the editor of the weekly Nakeeran, R R Gopal stoop so low to defame the present CM. The DMK has nothing worthwhile to question the present dispensation so it is using its known sympathiser R R Gopal to defame J.Jayalalithaa. Even this seems to have back fired as it had no takers.
