That's great news for the struggling masses. Can out country afford to reduce the taxes it collects? If yes, Mangala, you have a lot to learn from MR.

MR is great. Within a short period of time he helped the masses. But my concern is where he is getting the money from to reduce these levies. Is it a political drama to win the votes. Both MS and MR have to do lot of explanation.
