Cong-NCP govt by Ashok Patel on 08 Nov 2009

Two weeks drama ended. They have shared the term of looting public money. Rane, Pawar & all bargain for profit making portfoilio. So that they can recover their millions. They had no feeling for the tax payer people or the poor people. This is the same govt., who were in power at the time of 26/11. These power & Money hunger ministry will do nothing to the black marketers and terrorists. Apni Mumbai & Maharastra is in the hand of God.
