What a crap..how are these media guys pushing something which is just a bluff. I’m from Rohtak and was recently there..I don’t see any major changes due to any political leadership. Whatever is happening is mere a flash coz of changing time…

Deepender just into his father’s shoe’s…..Don’t you know the biggest money making business in India is ‘Politics’.

Aasthi, you being a media person should only publish articles from down-under perspective not from a political lime-light.

(I’m neither with nor against any political party)

Okay Aasthia aka admin, I am putting up my pic in next 30 minutes [though I wonder if it will last; am kind of shy] and linking to this post too from my Hooda post.

Wish there was ’subscribe to replies by mail’ option!

Thank you Aashthi for the link to this blog. I really liked this piece.

The institute is FDDI [Footwear Design and Development Institute]: the foundation stone was laid in Feb 09.

Please ask him his opinion on Khap panchayats. He has defended them in some interview. “he is a patron of honour killings of young couples,” says an AISA pamphlet in JNU “Sentiments and local customs of Khaap panchayat must be understood” was the remark of the CM’s son to a TV channel! So please embarass him on this. Also ask him if he is planning to have a simple marriage without wasting any money [and without any dowry cash or kind] and conspicuous consumption to set an example before the society! Also his father has spent public money like water on ads for promotion before elections [a whopping 10 crore according to IE report]! Grill him on these aspects.

I will link to this piece to my blog post tomorrow morning and future articles will be linked too. You are/were with IE?!
