Quotes
Dr Gautam Bhansali
General Physician at Bombay Hospital treating Anna Hazare
“If accountability is fixed and the resignation of a minister is taken, the government will not lose power. Rather, it will send a clear message to other ministers that if they do not discharge the responsibilities of their departments properly, they too will have to relinquish their posts. This will make the functioning of the government more accountable and effective.”
