'We're all mad here." — Lewis Carroll (English, 1832-1898) Word for the day Bonzer (adj) Remarkable; wonderful. Malice towards none How many of those who are challenging Sasikala's claim to Tamil Nadu CM post, on the grounds of competence and probity, did actually speak against appointment of Rabdi Devi as CM of Bihar? First random thought this morning I may be alone in this; and I may be wrong in this. But somehow I am getting this feeling that the government strongly believes that all BJP leaders, including those who have joined the party from other parties, have been absolutely clean in their economic, social and personal conduct.
