The Tamilnadu Chief Minister Mr.Karunanidhi's steadfast insistence on the construction of Sethu Samudram project and his sidekick, the Central Environment and Shipping minister Mr.T.R.Baalu's enthusiasm and energy for this project are a blatant bid for swindling billions of public money with scant respect for the
eco-sensitivity of the region.
We cannot ofcourse expect a modicum of impartiality from the Oxford educated prime-minister or his Harvard-educated Finance minister or Congress supremo Ms.Sonia Gandhi or even the even-handed Communists, who stick on to power without a fig leaf of concern for the future.
