The 'Aam Admi' Ministers

The PMO a few days ago made public the ministers' assets and liabilities giving over 400 pages of complete details filed by the elected representatives. It took PMO a year after, Subhash Chandra Agrawal, a RTI activist, filed an application regarding the assets and liabilities of Cabinet Ministers.

It has proved that India is ideal place which gives equal opportunity to all. Even aam admi can win in general elections and become an MP and then become Minister.

According to the reply to the RTI request :
1) Commerce minister Anand Sharma's personal wealth is Rs.26,741
2) Food Processing minister Subodh Kant Sahai has assets of Rs.1.4 lakh
3) Urban Development Minister S.Jaipal Reddy's assets are worth just Rs.3.3 lakhs
4) The Renewable Energy Minister, Farooq Abdullah, maintains his flamboyant lifestyle with Rs.6.5 lakhs assets.

These are only a few of such great revelations. It is no secret that their assets are registered in the names of wives and children , and may be 'loyal dogs'.
Why don't they own large assets? or Why do they hide them? What do they fear if it is not ill-gotten wealth?

All this is nothing but a big mockery perpetuated by people at highest level. They are in fact showing the asli aam admi's the path to take.
