    I wish 100% of this grant should be used for community development and not for religious activities such as building or repairing Church or Church owned institutions.

    If we are criticizing them for any thing that's not in our interest, I believe we should also be thanking for any thing good that they are doing.

    I agree with you Jossey. Addition to that we must add at least 10 more crore and help poor farmers. Have meetings with the bankers, reduce the amount and settle the loans.

    Very good point to ponder upon... Yes... We all have same question. In the meantime, I would like to write here stop blaming the government for each and every crime / wrong that's committed in the society. It's we, citizens are responsible for the crime directly and not the CM or PM. Thank you Chief minister. May god bless you with good health...
