    Dear friends, "The one who has not sinned will throw the first stone" says the Holy Bible. The accused is not the only one in the ocean of politics, who would have accumulated wealth & assets. Why single out one person in the trade? Regards

    It is good to see veteran leaders like Veerappa Moily, SM Krishna and Mallikarjun Kharge of Karnataka becoming union ministers. They have the experience of administration and hence should prove their efficiency at centre. Important thing is they have to show their commitment to the upliftment of the poor.

    The current set of cabinet minister''s (60%) look good...in their respective post's......happy to see kamal nath take over highways from the waste baalu....apart from dayanidhi maran...none of the DMK guys deserve any ministry,especially azhagiri....Hope the congressmen from karnataka justify their roles and do their bit for karnataka...especially kharge and muniyappa as their portifolio''s are more to do with people management ,employement and infrastructure.....the issues which are quite critical at this juncture......

    Dear friends, At the outset, it is one of the best teams so far truly reflectiing the diversity of India. I am particularly proud of the evolution our dear leader Shri Veerappa Moily. I had seen him rising from a small lawyer''s office in Karkala opposite Dwaraka Hotel to Minister and Chief Minister of the State and now as a Law Minister of the Nation of 1.1Billion population. Congratulations Sir, you have a great opportunity to make us Tuluas proud. Regards

    To Ms Rolina According to good justice in a democratic country a person is presumed to be innocent unless proved guilty. Moily was acquitted in that case, Please go into Wikipaediia and have a look at what this man has done.

    It is a commendable move by UPA government to allot key portfolios to young politicians like Jyotiraditya Scinda, Sachin Pilot, Agatha Sangma, Jitin Prasad etc. These qualified budding young politicians can shape the future of India. All the best for all the Ministers, hope that our India will prosper with experienced and energetic ministers.

    Both Veerappa Moily, Mallikarjuna Kharge are tainted congress managers. Moily was caught on Tape while Kharghe by using the name of Dalit is worth 1000Crores. What are their capabilities and what can we expect from them? Think again!!

    Fantastic. now is the hard work. implement that what was promised or perish. The poor man is sick of religion, sales talk, corruption, negligence. He needs his food, education, dignity. As for the Soul Baggers - you can find God in all religions but youll never find religion in God.

    Congratulations to Mr Moily and others from Karnataka who have landed with important porfolios. This is a chance for Moily to reform our much tainted justice system .The outlook of the cabinet is commendable with a mixture of young and old. Our PM has made it a point to induct some new faces with brilliant qualifications and all efforts have been made to remove non performers and those with criminal records.

    This govt is down to serious business and it has to show that communal politics has no role in our multicultural society.I am happy to see the Rural development post go to a very competant person.Similarly HRD has rightly gone to Mr Sibal who is the best person in the country for that job.
