HERE ALL ARE CROOKS-NONE ARE INNOCENT.

Here is a country wise break up of illegal funds stashed away in Swiss Bank numbered accounts by their citizens:

1. Indians: $ 1456 billions.
2. Russians: $ 470 billions
3. United Kingdom: $ 390 billions
4. Ukraine $ 100 billions
5. China: $ 96 billions

What is of special interest is that Indians hold more than all the others put together. At least we can now boast that in some economic activity we are world beaters. Anyone willing to hazard a guess as to what is the percentage of the loot of $ 1456 billions are being held by our politicians?

10 lakhs is one million, 1 crore is 10 million and 1000 million is 1 billion whereas 1000 billion is 1 trillion. And the $1 dollar can be taken roughly @ Rs. 50. Who said India is a poor country?

The fault lies with election system and the political party system. For example, a party like the Congress needs Rs. 20 crore DAILY to run from Kashmir to Kanyakumari and Kutch to Kohima etc. Where does all this money come from?

ALL political parties in India need crores of cash on a day to day basis, even the Stalinist CPI(M) which gets bulk of its money from China as the undivided CPI used to get it from their fatherland Russia.The rest they collect through 'haftas' from their affiliated trade unions forcefully pulled in from workers who are compelled to become members. The CPI(M) has a trade union for EVERY activity from prostitution to policemen and illegal hawkers who occupy roads to unregistered autos that are polluting Calcutta. The few industries that do exist in CPI(M) ruled States buy peace from disruptive activities of trade unions by paying the Party "peace money" on a regular basis.

Yet they have managed to keep a clean image of themselves unlike other Parties. This also gives them total control over the State they rule as they can manipulate these trade unions to do or not do anything as per the Party's diktat.
