Rajendra Babu's 'magical" wrist watch
The Patna news papers today have quoted Nitish as having said that the wrist watch of Rajendra babu will be brought back at all costs.
Some time back in Sotheby’s auction crores of rupees from state exchequer were spent to buy back some utensils etc used by Gandhijee. Again the greedy auctioneers put forth some other articles and this time Vijay Mallya bought the items.
The famous people are also human beings and use thousands of material things in their day to day activities of life. Do we need to retrieve all that by paying crazy amounts out of this poor country’s coffers? Are we emotionally so weak to be swayed by symbols and tokenism?
This madness must stop and there must be accountability to such wastes of public money whosoever misspends.
Taking care of basic needs of the half of the starving population will certainly give peace to the souls of the great people who sacrificed their all for the sake of the country. The political gimmicks must end.
