Fri Dec 15 00:23:18 2000
Name:Sandeep K. gupta
Email:guptsk@aud.alcatel.com
Nomination:AB vajpayee
Reason:He is the only politician who is not corrupted, and it is important in Indian politics. We always get PM, Who is corrupted and they were not able lead propery, Some time if PM is not corrupted than their family man was corrupted and they give very tough time for PM post. He want to do something and other poltitian should allow him to do some job rather than pulling his leg. He gave his whole life for doing something for India and he did something in two year. He do not have any interest in eating money out of different budget. CBI is funtioning on their own, no inteference, Cricketer got charged, BJP leader got charged and every case is going through court, rather than just hanging or througing or polititian are deciding outcome as it happen in past. It is must that INDIAN PM should be honest and keep COURT AND CBI out from politics. Thats what vajpayee is doing.
