I had lot of regard for Mr M.S.Gill. I had some interaction with him during my tenure as Chief of Telecom in MP during 1997-99, regarding development of telecommunication facilities in his village located in the district of Shivpuri (MP). Mr. M.S.Gill had his ancestor's farm known as 'Gill Farm' in the village. He wanted the telecomm in the village to be developed similar to that in the villages of Himanchal Pradesh. Perhaps, in lighter vein he told me his admiration to Pandit Sukhram, the disgraced minister of communication. He said that all blighters (politicians) take money, but Sukhram delivered. He (Sukhram) faught election with 'telephone' as his symbol and won. As a normal rural development programme, telecom facility in his village got upgrdedusing radio (UHF) and optical fibre cable systems. Mr. Gill even thanked me and appreciated my efforts. By accepting the ministership under congress regime Mr. Gill has undermined the dignity of CEC. I am feeling sorry about it.

During his tenure, he worked as Cong(I)agent against TN Seshan. Now, he is rewarded for his dedicated efforts for the party.

And what did TN Seshan. Even he fought against L K Advaniji in Gandhinagar with Congress support. What do you have to say about it ?

TN Seshan never contested in general elections. He contested for Presidentship against Narayanan sponsered by Cong(I). Plz don't give wrong information in right forum.
