The constitution does not allow for a shadow cabinet. MR and the clan still thinks they can still do what they want in this country.

Where is the minority representation. Talks like a saint behaves like a devil.

When the JO cannot do anything, they provide humor to the nation by wearing the clown dress. They want to amuse themselves and still be in public view. Very soon we can see them conducting street dramas and song festivals. Anything to be in the lime light.

Replace the Law and Order Minister. There is conflict of interest as Law enforcement men have several cases to be filed against him. via DM Android App
