CRORE PATHI NETAS

The assets declared by the candidates contesting for the forth coming LS elections are mind boggling.It ranges from 3 crores to 300 crores.That is the official count and the unofficial is far greater than this. Politics has become a biggest business in India to amass wealth by all kinds of means with complete or near complete immunity from tax authorities, defeating the very purpose of principles for which the parties stand for. How can the people with mindset of multiplying wealth for themselves can serve the people at large.Look at the profileof Mahatma Gandhi,Vinobha Bhave,Jayaprakash Narayan,Lal Bahadur Shastriand host other freedom fighters and the political leaders of repute of the past, and present day politicians who have five star hotel life style in a country wherein the majority of population does not have access to good drinking water,good education and health services among others. If a portion the declared assets of all the politicians are spent on the basic necessities stated above India would become a better country in all respects.It is not too late for candidates to declare now that their wealth shall be dedicated to the cause of up-liftment of oppressed class and take a vow that they wont use their position to amass wealth further.
