    Amit Shah hails from a khandani family and does not need tax money to hoard. At the time of independence, he could buy the entire Nehru family.

    S.Jaishankar is one of the best Diplomats India had in recent years.
    I have read foreign Diplomats/Ambassadors and South Asia Correspondents praising him for being a unique n efficient Officer.
    Doval-Jaishankar duo will be the X- Factor .
    Surely Sushma Swaraj will be missed.

    Everytime pointing finger at Midi-shah duo or people like smriti Irani and Pragya thakur is not justified . Once analyse the people and reason behind their win . It is people who should be hold responsible not them ...one who voted for Pragya thakur would definitely have same mind set and intentions.

    People who have deposits in banks be careful.

    by the way yesterday the oath taking of Karnataka MP Angadi was superb. With this kind of ministers at center what developmental work can be expected. Just to fill quota of caste, region and seniority people are being made ministers. Let us chant M...M...M...
