Black Money in Indian Politics.

In the last election, the Congress spent over Rs 400 crore. An astounding sum indeed. Needless to say it is not some one's blood and sweat money. If I were to bet, I would say that some of the $1 trillion of Indian money came back from Swiss banks. This is vicious cycle. To make money, these guys get into power. To get into power they need money. Thus the thirst for black money in India is un-quenchable. While the middle class keeps filling the treasury coffers, these elected criminals keep throwing money around with extreme impunity. A Congress MP got caught carrying over Rs. 12 Lakhs in cash at an airport. He claimed it was party fund. Have you ever heard of a guy who carries his hard earned 12 lakhs in cash? Now we hear that Rs. 5 Crores were accumulated for Rajmaata Sonia Gandhi's rally. Again, it cannot be any one's hard earned cash. That is why every party has their "money men". Late Pramod Mahajan was BJP's money man. Amar Singh was the SP money man. Congress has several of those pimps.

What can the aam aadmi do about this? I have no solution for it. I guess elect the lesser evil. The party which will, after filling it's coffers, do some work for the aam aadmi. It's a hell of choice, I tell you!!

From the horse’s mouth: Rs5 crore for Sonia Gandhi's rally; Maharashtra CM gives Rs2 crore
"The state Congress’ decision to raise massive funds for Sonia Gandhi’s rally from chief minister Ashok Chavan and cabinet ministers in the Democratic Front government has exposed the role of money power in the Congress. The rally is to be held at Sewagram on Friday. A private conversation between two Congress leaders on how they raised Rs5 crore from Chavan and his cabinet colleagues, captured in a video footage, has left the organisation running for cover."
