Smile on Left�s double-face: foreign experts to quit
In a bid to end the Left-created controversy over their role in India�s planning
process, the five foreign consultants from the World Bank, the Asian Development Bank
and McKinsey have offered to resign. The resignation offers were today intimated to
deputy chairman of the Planning Commission Montek Singh Ahluwalia in New York, who is
in town as a key member of Prime Minister Manmohan Singh�s ��dream reform team��
visiting the US. Ahluwalia is likely to accept these resignations.

Rajasthan turfs out man who fought corruption
In May this year, Suraj Bhan Singh celebrated a Rajasthan High Court verdict and
thought his fight against corruption was finally over. He figured that a year after
