Keep an Eye on Arvind Kejriwal

Let us go to the 'Mahabharata', the greatest epic of the Hindu civilization. We might start our discussion with Yudhisthira, the epitome of honesty and truthfulness. Yudhisthira never lied but once. According to the karma theory, he was duly punished. In the balance-sheet of his deeds for the part of sin show a single lie only, his penalty was limited to a momentary stay at the hell’s inferno.
