Politicians cultivate a certain proximity with the people they meet and they connect across to all sections of the society. I must share my experience of meeting Yeddiyurappa when he was only a leader of the opposition. It was at the time when the Cogentrix Project was very meuch in the offing. My friend, Ramakrishna and I, with the same kind of innocence that I found so touching in your husband and you, sought an appointment with him. We were given one and at the appointed time ushered in. He was dealing with a dozen other people, but as we enetered, he stood up and greeted us with a very sincere Namaskara (head bowed and all that). He gave us almost 30 minutes to explain the faulty Cogentrix scheme. My friend being a businessman-engineer had all the details worked out: such as the debt-equity ratio, power purchase agreement,deemed generation clauses, its association with Chinese companies etc (remember, this was much before the Enron project crumbled here India and then in the US)! Needless to say, my friend was prophetic. Both Cogentrix and Enron took to their heels for reasons of their own. After we had our say and our tea, as we rose to leave, he stood up and another deeply bowed Namaskara. I thought, we had planted a seed as well! But, look: He is lording over the biggest illegal mining scandal in history!Vishnuhttp://www.vishnukamath.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8338553383568349203.post-26878075797880329262009-12-31T16:06:03.361+05:302009-12-31T16:06:03.361+05:30Mr Veerappa Moily reads this blog?

Please give it a thought as in India people who hold office can manipulate justice this is the truth whether accepted or denied and in India justice is not done immediately takes its own sweet time.<br />Some victims of male harassment could be really victims and some could use the law for exhortations and settlements too. So my opinion is that 2 to 3 ladies be involved in taking a statement and later be questioned individually this is my suggestion.

If he senses a serious upwelling of concern around the nuclear liability bill, he will act on it. Perhaps, you could consider floating a fax or email petition to his office and get lots of people to send notes to him expressing their concern about the bill.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00056773907801689745noreply@blogger.com
