This episode is likely to repeat, in one form or another, throughout the first months and even years of Medvedev's rule. If it seems as if Russia has elected a man nobody knows anything about, it's because Russia, with a complacency easily mistakable for contentedness, didn't really elect Dmitri Medvedev at all. It reelected Vladimir Putin, in the way Tibetan monks pick the same Dalai Lama each time, regardless of the human form he's taken. The rubber-stamping of the Kremlin candidate illuminates a useful truth about Russian society: Putin's stifling regime and the country's oil-fueled prosperity are viewed not as unrelated phenomena but as cause and effect. Medvedev, even as he formally represents the end of that regime, is also its ultimate triumph.NEW DELHI: With India Against Corruption's expose on BJP chief Nitin Gadkari not turning out to be as explosive as expected, the main opposition party on Wednesday heaved a sigh of relief and used the occasion to claim that it had passed the corruption test with flying colours.
Gadkari dismissed the allegations and said, "The allegations are baseless, wrong and unfortunate... I have been working in the area as a social enterprise for the benefit of farmers... The allegations of land (grabbing) are absurd. Land has been given on lease to a charitable trust which functions like a cooperative. It is not owned by me."
While trying to rubbish IAC for bringing out cases of corruption against political leaders, BJP however is fumbling on how to deal with activist Arvind Kejriwal , who is also aspiring to take the political space, as he is hitting out at all parties.
