      No doubt, the Congress party is most unrivaled and unique in every evil thing on the earth. Look at the front page conspicuous news item of "Times Of India", Mumbai edition, of date
      (23rd Feb 2012), regarding badly used up and shunned, misguided, thoroughly befooled, unnecessarily unfortunate, Kripashankar Singh, otherwise good for nothing but so-far a good and direct sycophant of "10 Janpath". A lesson is to be well-learnt by the dirty Congress party mafia (the most evil & worst Indian-Italian mafia) sycophants of "10 Janpath" that they are no better than the worst ones used up and shunned / thrown at all the most notorious, dirtiest streets in any given city / town, for their 'great' high-command and her family members at their all time ' favourite ' " 10 Janpath ". Whether the likes of MAUN Mohan, Kapil (Muni), Chiddu, (Pig-Dog)vijay will heed and learn the hard lesson, in their own individual best interest and, rather, more in the national interest, is to be seen in the wide public domain. Any doubts, my good fellow citizens ???
