Statements like ‘someone has taken some money somewhere’ is passé. Get yourselves introduced to the new martyr saints of the Congress and their outraged utterances.
If anyone knew about the outcome of Karnataka polls it would be none other than senior BJP leader M Venkaiah Naidu. He and his followers had to eat humble pie when they tried to jump the queue at a Bangalore polling booth — and literally had to fall in line. Those waiting patiently in the [...]
