Kalignar says "DMK is a democratic party"

 I was reading through the DMK leader Karunanidhi's interview to CNN IBN.  One question and its answer caught my attention -

CNN-IBN: Will everyone in the party accept Stalin as the next leader?

M Karunanidhi: This is a democratic party. For all those who are asking who's the next leader, I would like to say the DMK is a democratic party. This is not a party where I just name one person and say he will succeed me. This is not a mutt run by seers. For eg, Sankaracharya named his successor himself and the entire religion accepted and followed it. But this is not a religious mutt like that. This is a democratic party. Just like people elect their leaders, the party cadre and the senior leaders will collectively select a person they feel is capable enough to handle this position.

I say, how true? ;)  (That was a wink of sarcasm)

The whole interview can be found here

Q: How is Sonia Gandhi related(literally) to 2G scam?

Answer: Sonia Gandhi's son-in-law, Robert Vadra, holds a managing shares and 20 percent stake in Unitech -- one of the firms that benefited from Raja's scheme.

Now that explains why the truth will never come out regarding this scam...

2 contradicting lives of a politician

I was browsing through the news websites today and found something interesting....

Abhishek Manu Singhvi, spokesperson of the Congress party lives two contradicting lives every day. No he doesn't become wolf by night... He does something even worse.

1st Life occurs during Day-Time: He goes to supreme court (as a lawyer) and defends his clients Aircel & Vodafone with an argument "his clients could not be compared with those who got licences in 2008 when far too many irregularities were allegedly committed." (source: http://ping.fm/4XT0M) .

Now let's see his other life.

2nd life during Night-Time:- He jumps from one tv channel to the other and tells the world (as a Congress spokesperson) that the ambit of the 2G scam should be extended to 2001 when BJP gave away 2G waves for free to operators like Vodafone & Aircel.

Phew!!! Another "Great Indian Tamasha"
