Raol Gandhi a born christian should ask the christian missionaries as to which villages have electricity. These missionaries attack the poorest of the poor in India for conversion. It was Tamil Nadu long back, and then it was NE and now the states like Orissa. Congress ruled most of the time and had an interest to keep the masses illiterate and poor for votes, like in Amethi. These poor states does not have politicians like Raol Gandhi who got two billion dollars from KGB as reported by a Sweedish magazine
my name charles. very nice.
Mr. Gandhi, Who is responsible for this? Your family has to take responsibility. Your family has a tradition of monarchy in keeping the nation poor so that when you guys go to ask for the votes, you can claim that you will provide chapatis and dal! Today's Indian economy is lighted by Narasima Rao. Unfortunately who had to go to jail for the corruption. On what moral and ethical ground your family criticizes about the India's poverty and infrastructure. Just have a look at the length of time your family was ruling India since we got Independence! It is high time that you guys to introspect yourself!
