    whoever becomes CM, ED will continue probe and the CM candidate, elected or not, cannot escape - if DKS falls in the dragnet, the government too may fall.

    Sattu vicku, dont wait for the fall. Its loss for us. Let them run the govt for five years. Why you want to wish bad for them...directly, bad effects hit us only. So pray for the good governance. Wish them luck....All political parties are same....never say this is bad that is good....Even Prime minister Narendra Modiji congratlated congress party. What we are in front of him ?
