Highly placed sources within Cooperative Department told that as per Government Order No 650 Edu of 2010 dated 10.8.2010, Kalpana Sharma was attached in the Personal Section of R&B Minister. However this chair seemed not suitable for the high profiled lady i.e. the spouse of minister, the order was again modified through which she was attached in the Personal Section of Minister of State for Haj, Auqaf and Fisheries.

Congress MPs also pulling in different directions
Classical Example Of Disunity
9/25/2012 11:58:41 PM
Neha JAMMU, Sept 25: The State unit of the BJP is a divided house. It is a fact. There are at least three main groups in this party.

There was another group within the State BJP and that was shown the door by the party high command months ago on the ground that its 7 members voted against the ...
