Think of the great democracy we have..............

PLEASE FORWARD THIS MESSAGE TO ALL REAL CITIZENS OF INDIA
..
but,

STILL Proud to be INDIAN



So ... who do you think should be cautious in their remunarations and expenditures? In fact, the reason the Women's Reservation for Parliament is held up because some of our MPs now want proportional increase in Members to accomodate the Women MPs and thus protect their own status. Thus, there is demand for probably 200 more MPs and their astronomical expenses from tax payers monies. This will lead to even more expenses during electionioring and so on. Who is paying for this? What are they delivering? What relief have they given to the bottom 300 million of India who are getting impatient after a long wait for sixty years? How can the Prime Minister parrot platitudes to the masses and suggest living style to the true wealth generators but say nothing to the 'wealth destroyers' and simultaneously create an imagined rift between the haves and havenots? Where is the equity from this intellectual?

Please pass this message on your family, friends, colleagues, well wishers and true Indians. Let us build a citizens opinion on this and reach a concensus on how tax payers monies are spent and how outcome is delivered to the impatient millions.
