Mayavati: Playing the caste card

What you found inside, a lady all comfortable,stretched all over the seat and giving "who cares "kind of look to you.And next seat is all occupied by a dirt

The attack is being condemned from all national and international authorities. This has created other scenario in the Indian politics. The attack was on the bus filled with pilgrims from Gujarat, so they are being linked, kond of giving flares to the old wounds, which is tragic.
