This is how all our tax money is been swallowed and price hike on our regular commodities.......
Think of the great democracy we have.............
The figures here may be slightly exaggeratted, but its so scary to see that figure..855 crores. Something to ponder over as an Indian.
If this is a case of LEGAL money spent on the MPs, what about the ILLEGAL paisa??!!!
