Austerity drive- Is it a farce? What about the Aam Admi?

Mr Kapil Sibal was on TV and he said India cannot afford more than what is being offered to the IIT/ IIM Professors!

THE SO CALLED AUSTERITY DRIVE IS LIMITED ONLY TO THE EXTENT OF RAIL TICKETS AND AIRFARES? NEVER MIND HOW MUCH INCONVENIENCE IT CAUSES TO THE ‘AAM ADMI’. JAAGO BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE...

Politics is not a SERVICE anymore but a PROFESSION.

An Important Issue! Salary & Govenment Concessions for a Member of Parliament (MP)

    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 pictures present the factual condition of citizens of our country:



    855 crores could make their life livable! Think of the great democracy we have...
    By the way can someone explain on what grounds Rahul Gandhi is a VVIP? Or is it that anyone when on Z category also becomes a VVIP? God save this country! Jai Hind
