Kharge master, the way you are saving every body else in India full time selflessly, people of India have realised fully. The voters of India feel that you serve the best without power. Also your party has been spotless from 1947 - no snooping by any means…. No phone tapping, no steaming open any letters, no spying etc. totally following in the footsteps of Gandhi, the original. Please install giant belgium mirrors in every office of the Congress party and may be in the palatial houses of all your rich members - state & central - so that everyday you can see the true reflection of yourself. Suddenly you will relise that no political party in India is any different including BJP. Collectively, you are all playing the same game - snooping on each other while serving your own families & getting rich beyond all reasonable means. Tax money collected is safely kept in Individial leaders’ custody in the form of immovable assets (benami meaning not in your original names), movable liquid assets (tax havens are much better never revealing the secrets of such treasures) and many more. We also know that all political leaders, bureaucrats, law enforcement agencies do this to keep people of this country humble, simple, poor, agile with ability to survive in poverty / sickness / illiteracy. We, the mango people, unnecessarily get agitated wanting to get at least some of the amenities you all enjoy. Snooping is very essential to keep us all - crores of Indians - in the same condition. Very noble indeed.
