Team Anna to float a new political party!
Is that the real alternative? In a multi-party democracy like India, to start one more party and to fight the elections is no big news. Or, is it?

Why international diplomacy at this time of the crisis-ridden domestic situation? What about the economic slow-down and when governance is almost at a standstill? Prime Minister’s…
