August 26, 2011The present poianlciits had buried Gandhi ideology long ago. they all wear khadi but with out khadhi thoughts .do these MP,s know how the villagers are suffering for drinking water, roads,health care,education and power. Do India resides in town and cities ? what all the schemes which are being floated by the Central Govt never reach the needy.the schemes are only to enrich their chamchas and propagate corruption. Anna is right inhis mass movement in making an effort to make the poianlciits accountable to the nation.They only know to rule by brutal majority in the name of democracy,they never know how to govern the nation.
