    I know my leader very well. I can proudly and confidently says atleast Modi is honest non corrupt in BJP. Leave aside people like Yeddi or Shobha. They may be corrupt, not Modi. He is in politics since 18 years, not seen any allegations against him. Between, Rahul gandhi is out on bail in national herald scam!

    Before any jubilation starts, please count what it costed to India to go to -23% from +8.5%. Now calculate a ratio of India's gain : loss

    Whose money it is anyway ? He donated whatever he had before coming to Delhi. What's great in giving back to who it belongs ?
