    The Indian National Congress was this year's ninth most discussed topic and little wonder, as 2011 turned out to be  a series of crises for Dr Manmohan Sing's government. Among the year's highlights – high profile arrests in the 2G spectrum scam including former Telecom minister A Raja and DMK leader Kanimozhi; Team Anna's campaign to have the Jan Lokpal Bill passed in Parliament, a ferocious late night government crackdown on Baba Ramdev's supporters in the Ramlila Grounds; an oscillating petrol price; and a falling rupee.
