Black Day for CONGRESS:- 1] GODHRA - Indirectly it proves that Congress played Communal Card on Godhra as always, to get Minority Votes. 2] JPC:- Directly proves that UPA-2 was involved in Corruption and has to agree JPC on Public outcry. On both cases Citizens were loosers, but Corrupt and Greedy Politicians cooked their BREAD on it. So called smart spokesperson's thrown spits now boomerangs on them. LALU played as mouth piece to bash Modi but today he is also a looser.
