Come on, what the hell are some people smoking when they demand the resignation of the chief of Haryana, who it must be said is a pathetic administrator.  We are not some namby-pamby Scandinavian country where the heads of government will resign on 'moral grounds'.  It doesn't matter that in your insatiable hunger for votes, you have appeased worst kinds of reactionary elements in society, and when their sordid past catches up with them, you will be either unwilling or unable to stop their violent behavior.  Chief Ministers in this country don't resign because a handful of poor children have died because there was lack of oxygen supply in the government hospital.  We had a certain chief minister in 2002, who did not resign even though over a thousand people had been massacred on his watch.  In fact, the more the demand for his resignation grew, the more defiant and brazen he became.  People always try to learn from the best, and what they have learned over the years the accountability only comes in five years at the time of time of elections and is not a 24\7 phenomenon.  The hardware of our democracy is by and large, still holding up, but the software has been thoroughly corrupted with all types of viruses.
