Bank robbery always makes big news. But, not when it is craftily conducted by clever corporates. Corporate robbery of banks even carries a fashionable nametag called ‘non-performing asset’. It refers to loans that have gone sour and are not recoverable. Banks simply write them off.

Delhi will vote on December 4 to elect its government.

When Kejriwal announced to enter the fray, BJP was the party to get nervous on the announcement and there was a celebration time in Congress, whose leaders thought that by dividing anti Congress votes, Kejriwal’s AAP would help it to capture power for the fourth consecutive times. But, the celebration is over now and Congress leaders are anxious to avoid a humiliating defeat. The reason is not difficult to see. AAP has been eating into the support base of Congress in a manner not visualized earlier by the Congress leaders.

In fact, after Independence the official map of the country recognizes these two lines.
