    Now all the toms and dicks fly on helicopters at tax payers' expense.

    Wow, so this is how public funds are wasted!

    Dear Ministers, In future please catch a CTB bus. It only costs a few hundred rupees. Considering our country is heavily in debt, right? Yours sincerely...

    Why can't they use their duty free vehicles instead of helicopters?

    they will now ask for helicopter instead of duty free cars.

    Duty free vehicles either sold or used by their spare wheels .
