Dil'da Exactly..Baba's tent is spread over 2.5 lakh sqft as per HT and 4.25 lakh sqm as TOI (which is wrong estimation, I presume). This will cost minimum of Rs. 2 cr as per a report. Baba moves in a Private Jet. He'll bring in 500000 people for his fast accompaniment. They are mostly paid volunteers. If its for 20 days, teh cost will be minimum of Rs. 1000 per person/day. I don't think these are accounted money. So ultimately Baba is giving a helping hand to teh very people he is supposed to fight. Govt. will ultimately question all these and weaken the cause.
Same thing happened with the Anna Hazare camp. Kiran Bedi was involved in a controversial admission case of her daughter into MBBS from Mizoram quota way back in 80's. Bhushan father-son due charged Rs. 50 lakh from Amar Singh for a case (unaccounted). They got prime land allotted at Gr NoIDA at pittance. Without money from wealthy wishers, such a movement cannot be sustainer. I read in one book about Gandhiji taking a Rs. 5000 worth of Hundi from GD Birla. So the old saying goes, *people living in glass houses should nto throw stone at others*. They should come out of the glass house and throw stone..:) On Thu, Jun 2, 2011 at 11:25 PM, Dilip Deka <[email protected]> wrote: > Thank you Uttam for the clarification. > > So, Manoj, your original comment asked whether Ramdev and the Jantar Mantar > show are being financed by black money when Ramdev is up against black > money.
