A whooping 47 (forty seven) crorepatis in new Dr.Manmohan Singh government

Among the less rich ministers, Dr. Mamata Banerjee is followed by Trinamool colleague Adhikari Sisir Kumar with Rs 10.8 lakh of wealth and Kerala MP Anto Antony with Rs 14.24 lakh worth of assets.

[My inputs: That is why I like Mamata didi, inspite of her mercurial temper......Do you think all of these "crore patis" have joined the government/politics to Serve People of India or to do service to the Indians..??!! I think you know the answer...!!

I think you have seen one sample earlier who in her "Josh" of presiding over a ministry, asked all teenagers to go and drink alcohol in pubs and create mischief, because it was their "Constitutional Right"-----I hope by now you know the name and yes it is indeed, Renuka Choudhury, from Andhra Pradesh; the "crore pati" minister who was humbled this time by Telegu Desham Candidate, though most of the "Purchased" English/Hindi media channels indirectly campaigned for her.....

I had predicted this outcome even before the voting actually took place, as I was pretty sure that all people cannot be fooled into voting her, everytime......

If Dr.Manmohan Singh government can have a "Minority Affairs Minister", I wonder why there is no "Majority Affairs Minister".....Have you ever thought, how the Congress is fooling the Majority Community for years.....??!!

One of the major pitfalls of democracy is that, it never gives any importance to the minority opinion even if it was correct, which is dangerous....and leads to REVOLUTION]
