What's Hot?

Newly appointed Home Minister and veteran Dalit Congressman Sushilkumar Shinde understands too well the creed of loyalty to the Gandhi parivar. In an exclusive interview to The New Indian Express Editorial Director Prabhu Chawla on the show Teekhi Baat on IBN7 news channel, Shinde clearly stated that he is Sonia’s soldier and she can never do wrong.
The home minister affirmed that if Sonia asks him to shoot, he will, and he will shoot to kill. “Our leader is so intelligent, talented and understanding; knows fully well what work has to be given to whom,” says Shinde, interpreting his elevation as Home Minister.
Echoing Giani Zail Singh’s famous statement that if Indira Gandhi ordered him to sweep the floor he would, the sixth Maharashtrian home minister of the country said that nobody has done so much for Dalits and the backwards as the Gandhis.
Unabashedly admitting to being a Gandhi sycophant, Shinde says he looks forward to serving under Rahul—someone he has seen in Rajiv Gandhi’s place even before the young Gandhi joined politics.
The new home minister is very clear about his priorities, placing the Naxal threat over terrorism. The difference between his no-nonsense predecessor and Shinde is political astuteness—he praises P Chidambaram as political, talented and someone who has laid down a perfect roadmap for him to follow. With the Gandhis to watch over his every move, this would not be a difficult task for India’s new guardian of the peace.

After 64 years of Indp this is what we have got, On Shinde's going, let all of us Indians appoint Gandhi Family the custodian of Bharatversh, let us appoint RahulGandhi the PM - as Shinde desires, then Priyanka, den Vadra, den Vadra Children one by one, then their santaan. No elections, no political acrimony, India will save enough to feed"dalit"amilies who will continue to produce India's Home Ministers - appointed by Soniaji, Rahulji, Priyankaji, Vadraji, their childrenji And their own Santanji and so forth Mera Nharat Mahan !

Appreciate shinde for openly accepting the real qualification to become the HM. If any one calls him shameless, his chemistry to be blamed not himself. The slavery blood flows all over congress body.

shinde has been honest. He os a gandhi family loyalist. There are similarly many modiphile dalals who lie they are nationalists. Point is, shinde has won elections and is a strong leader. good that he jas been made hm. For modi, even advani is exploring making a non bjp guy. Lol

Mr.Shinde, can I ask you one simple question? Did we got the independent in 1947 or are you think that this is not 2012 but 1912. You stupid dumb HM of India and I feel same.

He is not here to serve the nation, but to serve Sonia Madam and Gandhi parivar. He was even not smart enough to hide the obivious chaplusee of Sonia madam. God, this man is the home minister of our country. In the entire interview, he was so grateful to Sonia Madam, as if he was appointed as a chief servant of gandhi parivar, MR Shinde, wake up, you are Home minster of India, and not of gandhi parivar.

Every one call SANGH PARIVAR !!!! It nothing before what you said Gandhi? parivar. It is a great parivar controlled by single index finger unlike Krishna lifting Govardana by little finger.
