With umpteen number of people issues screaming for Government's attention and action, the MLAs & Ministers found Shriya's & Namitha's dressing sense dangerous enough to warrant a debate in the state assembly.
With PMK taking a hardliner stand on this issue, wanted the government to intervene & save the 'Tamil Culture'. The DMK discussed in 'length' on where all the government could not pass the regulations. Wonder what the next scene would be?
This just adds to the list of all shameful incidents & speeches at the Assembly.

BCCI, IPL & Tons of Money
A new chapter in Indian Cricket! - Indian Premier League
Mumbai IPL - Mukesh Ambani - $111.9
Million Bangalore IPL - Vijay Mallaya - $111.6

Million Mohali IPL - Preity Zinta & Ness Wadia - $76
Million Calcutta IPL - Sharukh Khan - $75.09

All of them are confident that they will break even within 2 - 3 Yrs.
ET : Originally conceived as a riposte to Subhash Chandra’s rebel Indian Cricket League, IPL is set to become the biggest money-spinner in cricket today. The league has been modelled on other professional sports leagues like the English Premier League (EPL) and National Basketball Association (NBA). But in the years to come, it will emulate EPL and NBA when it comes to trading players and club buyouts. Some of the biggest names in international cricket today, such as Ricky Ponting, Kumar Sangakkara and Sachin Tendulkar, have all signed up to play in IPL, and so have Shane Warne and Glenn McGrath. The top 80 players in the ICC rankings will be playing in IPL, according to BCCI officials
59 matches would be played over 44 days , which would be broadcast live on SET Max. All in all BCCI is said to have raised a total off $ 1.749 billion (Rs 6996 crore) through the team auction alone...
