Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

With regards,

A TALE OF TWO MINISTERS

  • Sunil  Dutta

When he was the Minister for Sports and Youth Affairs in the Central Government a few years back , he allotted Rs 25 lakhs from his MPLAD fund ( Member of Parliament Local Area Development Fund ) , for development of a garden at Marol  ( Mumbai ) – his constituency.

Today , hundreds of slum-dwellers relax in this garden every evening , to get away from the unhygienic surroundings of their 100 sq. ft , tin-roofed “ homes “ ,  and get some fresh air

  • Akhilesh  Yadav

Yesterday ( 3rd July 2012 ) , he announced in UP Legislative Assembly that ,

·     MPLAD Fund amount is being increased from Rs 125 Lakhs to 150 Lakhs

·     All MPs can use the additional Rs 25 Lakhs to purchase a car for personal use

         What next ?

Unlimited amount of free petrol / diesel for all 403 MPs of UP, so that no one need to worry about petrol price raises?
