    This is what an educated MP's speech should be like. Based on figures and facts. Most disappointing is the spending on education and health.

    Now crony capitalism is at it's peak during the past 10 years. Middle class is suffering from unbearably excessive taxes. Soon we will all drown into hopelessness.

    Shashi Tharoor is a strong pillar of INDIA. Not a single MP from BJP can match Mr Tharoor. Excellent speech.

    Only the super rich like Ambani and adanis are flourishing in Modi new India
  • @concernedcitizen3022
    True! This is a very pressing issue. The stark difference of wealth between the rich and poor is very obvious, it is getting worse. The salaries of the rich are skyrocketing whereas the poor has to keep up with the prices suited for the wealthy. Where in the country can the poor afford the basic amenities, such as food and housing anymore?
