They're definitely relying heavily on stuntsmanship and hat tricks. It's a losing battle for them ultimately, since their power games are only reaping a larger and larger backlash against them.
Why not name the "major politician" - call him Chidambaram. I guess then that rediff will not publish the article.
They have been bettered by their proteges AAP who are their baap in doing this.
PIL demon Bhushan, Khujliwal etc already have RTI, Lokpal etc. to their credit.
