Nice one. 30% of Lok Sabha members and 16% of Rajya Sabha members, combined together, are no match for Mr. M. Karunanidhi. South never gets publicity in North.

its a matter of concern that we always ruled by those who are unfit to rule...:(

I wonder why people have elected them in the first place? If people don't think/verify for whom they are voting, this is what will happen.
