The Hypocrisy of Indian Politics

An interview began, and the interviewer asked him why he had made his son, Om Prakash Chautala, the chief minister of Haryana.

Sankalp's brainchild, Disha, which makes sure to network all major blood banks across Bangalore city with a single toll free helpline, i.e., 1062 was started off close to 3 years ago.
