It is a fashion to project India a poor country not only by foreign agent but by Indian media also, sometimes more intentionally.
A chunk of people believe that Indian economy is already doomed and can never stand again. At the time when Indian economy is being doomed, it records below 5% growth, cabinet ministers advocate to capture the gold of Hindu temples to boost economy, here is an Italian lady and Indian politician who is worlds richest leader with the wealth worth $2 billion.
Currently, she is running second consecutive government in India, and her government is emerged as one of the most corrupt governments in the history of India after British rule. A senior BJP leader, Dr. Subramanian Swamy, never hesitates to proclaim that Sonia Gandhi (Tadka and Vishkanya as he calls her) is the root cause of all corruptions, and all scams are programmed in her consent. He has also challenged her in court, and case is being heard in the court. After the news that she is 12th richest with $2 billion wealth, Dr. Swamy reacted saying she inherited $2 billion wealth as widow of Late Rajiv Gandhi and her actual wealth is much more than merely $2 billion.
The Richest World Leaders Are Even Richer Than You Thought
Ever wondered just how rich the richest world leaders really are? To put it in perspective, President Obama may be
worth several million dollars, but he does not even come close to some of contemporaries.
Based on available data, HuffPost World has compiled a list of the 20
richest world leaders currently in power. The roster includes a mixture
of kings, presidents, sultans and queens. Most are male (as the world's
political leaders tend to be, too). They skew to the Middle East, with
seven of the 20 leaders originating from that region, and their wealth
generally comes from family connections, profitable investments and in
some cases, corrupt rule. Unsurprisingly, many of their country's
citizens lead much, much humbler lives.
For comparison, each country's
GDP per capita is juxtaposed with a leader's personal net worth, just to show how different life is for the haves and have-nots.
