Thu, Apr 26 2012I think there are only two categories of readers here (pro cong or pro BJP) and they act like authorised agents of the respective parties. There are no pro-JDS commentators as of now.
There are very few who actually talk about the issue.

Tell me one state in India which has no power and water problem?
We are in India, not in KSA.
Power shortage during Congress regime was 3 times more than this.
