How much money did we spend to sponsor our enormous delegation to UN (Rs. 500 M)? How much money did we spend on Indian Film star festival (Rs. 800M) ? How much money do we spend each time we have an election (Rs. 500M)? And here we are spending what? Rs. 55 M. Are we really serious on building these people houses????

Interesting facts. From this allocated 55Mn, how much will really go in to build and how much will go in to pockets of others.

These 819 Recipients. Are they from the same locality? If so, probably the majority of them are Govt party supporters.
