New case of Bird flu in Murshidabad, Mosquito risk in TN by Raj on 28 Jan 2008

Looks like our poor reserved minister for health has no time for health issues including of his own state, and ofcourse priority is the antibrahmin politics so venugopal is more important than national health and such inconsequential matters. Ramadoss it is by such actions that you people create the caste rift, much more of it is created by this than by violence. You seem to be notional minister health and national minister anti venugopal politics.
