And now, a dull moment as Deve Gowda speaks

December 05, 2012 16:52

With few exceptions, most MPs would have a hard time getting the attention of the House after Lalu speaks. And Deve Gowda, a former PM, is anything but an interesting speaker. Mumble, stumble, some more mumble, the gist of which is farmer suicides. He asks, "Everyone knows there is wide-spread loot in this country, but where is the money going? I oppose FDI in multi-brand retail. We need to save our farmers." MPs seem to use Gowda's speech time as a breather after some exacting moments of debate by other members. No obvious shut-eye, but they seem to have tuned off.
