The problem is the power of huge money is such, you keep on crying, nobody will listen you. IF something started coming up, they will get it silenced by moneypower. Finally, “you bloody Indian” and “NO ENTRY for INDIANS and DOGS ” will continue our faith.

Sonia Gandhi Biggest Richest

Sonia Gandhi is not even her real name. She wasn’t a Cambridge graduate (she studied and did not complete a 6-week English course) and wasn’t even an Indian citizen, until recently. A person like this is a master of identity management. So it must have been difficult to pinpoint her financial holdings. That said, her government has presided over the largest scams in India’s history – Bofors, CWG, 2G spectrum, etc. so the figure could be even higher. Interestingly, she is richer than 100 million Indians put together (if you take the above the poverty line definition of >22 rupees per day)

the criminal mastermind of india : sonia gandhi should have been at the top most position. you have got it wrong:”Business Insider”. with her black money in tax havens she must be far ahead of the richest saudi probably by several billions. only an indian can know how she has looted (and plundered )the country in the last few decades.

First check with the website Business Insider then jump to any conclusion. Anyone can make any claim about anything.
