I cannot verify facts stated here, but still thought provoking

I got this as a fwd today. I cant comment on this, i cant verify the facts and I cant just believe this. So i will just keep quiet.

Politics is not a SERVICE anymore but a PROFESSION!!!

An Important Issue!

[i.e.. 2.66 lakh/month]

AND THE PRIME MINISTER IS ASKING THE HIGHLY QUALIFIED, OUT PERFORMING CEOs TO CUT DOWN THEIR SALARIES...... This is how all our tax money is been swallowed and price hike on our regular commodities.........
And this is the present condition of our country :
855 crores could make their lives livable!!

  1. Scary figures Paddy! But i Guess all we can do is watch on.. sad that all this money is not going into good use for the development of our country rather than the development of a certain section of people in the country!

  2. Absolutely! I have no idea if the MLAs and MPs are expected to provide accounts for these stuff.
