WellThough highly oblectionable and reprehensible, for us in India,this is fleabite. We have politicians who openly swallow millions of public money.We with draw cases against a man who funneled crores into past Prime Minister’s account(Bofors); we have Chief Ministers who openly amass wealth, demanding 10-25% on every government contract;we have a Chief Minister who keeps on building statues for her through the state ,despite Supreme Court’s ruling; and the beauty is we keep electing them again and again.
Probably the price we have to pay for Democracy!People talk of ending caste system and class system.What about Political class?
Mute spectators like us are left holding the tab.
