thought they should be CoAS instead of Bikram SIngh. It may or may not
be coincidental that they are considered to be aligned with V.K.Singh
(or vice-versa). That they are still not prepared to give up by
instigating this media / PIL tamasha to extend V.K.Singh's tenure is
what is TRULY worrying.
2) Your second question is so irrelevant and frankly puerile as to
need no reply. Nevertheless I shall answer it - LEAKS LEAKS and MORE
INSPIRED LEAKS. Delhi is a city of LEAKS. Journos are LAZY BUGGERS who
want everything for FREE. Any half decent hack posted in Delhi can
live a decent life with all the fags, booze and occasional girls/boys
simply by selling in 'raddi' all the PR crap that is home delivered to
them
PS: I am sure V.K.Singh's camp would love to know Shekhar Gupta's sources.
