This is a best chance for CBI to prove Tyagi''s involvement in the chopper deal. If there are evidences, Sonia, Manmohan, Antony(Poor fellow) should be tried and if proved guilty should be punished. This will be a lesson for the powerful politicians to behave properly and hence the nation will greatly benefit.Read allPost comment
