April 17, 2018By T.J.S. George So it’s the mixture as before — Arun Jaitley is wise, Ministers of Southern States are dumb. The south objected to the centre taking the 2011 population figures as the yardstick for the devolution of tax revenues to the States. Jaitley dismissed the objections in convoluted phraseology.

Trailing B.Y. Vijayendra, BJP, in Varuna Constituency
April 14, 2018Election in a democracy is the season for migrants.

Ram Bhakti, like news, goes fake
