Chidambaram leads from the front?

Many people talk about PC with awe about his dream budget. Every year for the last 5 years people were expecting him to work miracles in the Union budget. Things weren't as flashy as '97 but did improve considerably.

In the wake of the ruckus over the Mumbai Attacks PC got relieved of the finance portfolio and was given the home ministry. As home minister he is entitled to Z class security but has politely turned it down. Full Article. Political ploy before the elections to appease the hoi polloi or serious reforms in the offing?

Only time will tell. But I know who I will be voting for during the next elections.

P.S If you have finally decided to stop your wining about the situation and start doing something productive like exercising your franchise this is a good place to start
