  1. I support Davy’s view. Shameless politicians, just after their birth jumped into neighbouring cradle leaving their own. No principle, no moral and no shame. They are leech on innocent taxpayers. Indian democracy has been hijacked by political mafia. There is no future of principled politics in this country for coming 500 years.
