Delhi Diary
BJP's Chinese dream
Till now the BJP has been accusing the Indian Marxists as agents of China. But things seem to have changed after the recent China visit of Karnataka Chief Minister BS Yeddyurappa. The BJP leader has been full praise of the Chinese model of development.
About 200 MLAs from Karnataka are in the queue to visit China for 'learning' projects' administration. The BJP ruled State has already sent 600 farmers to study the agrarian pattern of China. The whole timers in the CPI(M) headquarters in Delhi, who nurture a dream to see China once in their life time, are green with envy for the Saffron's love for the Red brigade.
Smartness lands Renuka in trouble
Unexpected support for Brinda
CPI(M) leader Brinda Karat has received unexpected support for her demand for a full-time Chairperson of the Women’s Commission in place of Congress MP Girija Vyas.
Union Women and Child Welfare Minister Krishna Tirath and several Mahila Congress leaders are backing her.
Grapevine has it that several women Congress leaders are eyeing the coveted post. Tirath is uncomfortable with dealing with the present chairperson, who is senior to her in the Congress. Smoke signs
