• This refers to Control manufacturing process of EVMs. Should the Election Commission not have addressed doubts over EVMs after Jayalalithaas boycott of them? Now their reliability is being questioned even further,naturally raising doubts amongst the public as well. EVMs might ensure more transparency in the voting process but faith in the mechanism is mandatory.

• The Indian Express should be commended for its expose on ministers S. M. Krishna and Shashi Tharoor. It has now,more than ever,become clear that the pen commands immense power and can yield results. The ministers have both provided reasons for their stay namely,that the money spent was their own. Unfortunately this does not suffice as they are now public servants and therefore have to follow the rules and regulations of the party and government they represent.

• It is surprising that ministers live such lavish lives. Shashi Tharoor has explained that his stay was financed by himself,but the statement is merely an excuse,not an acceptable explanation. Perhaps the minister should be reminded that as public figure he should ensure that the people he represents associate with him.

• News that ministers indulge in such luxury is shocking. Since the ministers have been provided with accommodation,their hotel stay,for whatever reason,is against the practices of the party. Further it sends mixed signals to both the government and the public at a time when the PM has appealed to ministers to voluntarily undergo a cut in their wages. This is undeniably the wrong impression to send to the people.

• This refers to Buddha loses again. It is unfortunate to see a state,which was once commended on its industrial glory now suffer economically. Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee turned around years of communist misrule and succeeded in modernising Bengal. However,the past 3 years have been disappointing. Look at the case of the Nano,and how Ratan Tata eventually decided not to invest in the state. Now the exit of Wipro and Infosys adds to the mounting list of failures.

• This refers to Its official… and Bundelkhand: High stakes…. The two news items highlight the painful and ironic disparity between students and the lack of planning by both academics and politicians. Ultimately when one questions these disparities the answer is simple: the lack of proper infrastructure.
