continued to do. SInce Thursday is a PM roaster duty day in Rajya Sabha

the best web site and reward for maintaining it.

proposed as reward to the web manager of the concerned site.

successive Governments NDA and UPA

DMK at one point of time, decided to suspend MK Alagiri for his
stand that he would contest for the post of Chief Minister
when new MLAs are elected. Also he would contest for
the post of President of DMK when General Council holds elections.
Disciplinary notice was drafted. MK Alagiri was told about it.
that was the trump card Father used against Son to silence him
And that made MK Alagiri to attend Cabient meets, Parliament
and everyday for three hours he sits in Sashtri Bhavan.
If Alagir was suspended, then MPs and MLAs would desert him
He has to have a hold on the brother Stalin, and that hold is
none else than Fertiliser Ministry. Now MK Alagiri has begun
to learn English pronounciations. But much more interesting is
in Central Hall in front of many DMK MPs, he asked the canteen bearer
AAJ KI KHAANA MENU KYA HAI. That broken hindi words
wondered many senior MPs to know the quick memorising power
of Alagiri. Reply was that he keeps few words written inTamil and keeps
it his shirt packet.Takes out and puts it back after he said aaj ki khaana
menu kya hai
