Wanna get Rich?? Forget IIMs.... Get into Politics!!

SC has sent a notice to Mulayam Singh Yadav, seeking explanation for the wealth/property acquired by him/his family members and for allegedly accumulating wealth disproportionate to his known sources of income.
This is the list of his properties as was presented by Indian Express:

In the name of Mulayam Singh Yadav
• 23,876.325 sq feet, converted to freehold by paying Rs 40.6 lakh to Lucknow Development Authority
• Lucknow plot in the name of Mulayam’s first wife Malti Devi
• 10,000 sq ft in benami name of Ranvir Singh
• 14 acres in Etawah
• Flat at Friends Colony, Etawah
• Bank FDs: Rs 26 lakh

In the name of son Akhilesh Yadav
• 3,100 sq ft in Lucknow
• House in Gomti Nagar, Lucknow
• One bigha and 6 biswas land at village Kamta, district Lucknow (sold to Lisa Builders)
• Najul land measuring 23,872 sq ft in Hazratganj
• Benami property in the name of RCS Rawat: plot of 300 sq m bearing Plot No. R6/21 at Vipul Khand, Gomti Nagar, Lucknow
• Bank deposits: Rs 25 lakh; bonds and debentures: Rs 4.6 lakh
• Share in other properties worth: Rs 72 lakh
• Agricultural land 16.3 acres in Saifai; Flat at Friends Colony, Etawah

In the name of Dimpal Yadav, wife of Akhilesh
• House in Mahatma Gandhi Marg, Ward Hussain Ganj
• Bank deposits: Rs 16 lakh; Shares: Rs 13 lakh; Jewellery worth Rs 24 lakh
• House at Lucknow; shares in other properties worth Rs 22 lakh

In the name of Pratik Yadav, Mulayam’s son through Sadhna Gupta
• 18 biswas plot in village Kamta; house at 2/8, Vikramaditya Marg

Some years back the same question was raised against Jayalalitha, but the outcome was none. I guess Mulayam will also be able to get over this very easily.
I blame not Mulayam or the Indian politics, but I blame the Indian mass who despite knowing the fact elects these corrupt ministers from their state. And they do it again-and-again.

Shame India!!
