    Absolutely right! Center spend thousands of crores in the field of Tree-Monkey jumping sports. MLAs jumped from other parties to BJP after receiving hefty cash.

    I ask Smt. Smriti Irani what is the qualification and experience of son of Amit Shah (Jay Shah) who is the President of the Asian Cricket Council; and also the Secretary of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI). What was his contribution to Cricket for him to award such a prestigious position? We have seen his press release where he tumbles just to read a written speech.

    As seen here; the trademark of BJp government is that the Minister of Women and Child Development would give lectures on something that is the domain of Ministry of Sports. She wont speak on the issues on her domain such as global poor ranking of women in terms of their security. She remains mum on dowry deaths; she wont speak about female foeticide. You can also notice that Finance minister would give press release on Defense issues; and Defence minister having press release on Economics. They are managing like how a government school is run without any accountability

    Everything is good. But, the world has conspicuously felt that a country with 140 crore people, could not send a football team to the recently held event in Qatar.
