Whenever i heard about the ‘Washington Lobbyist’ i always thought to myself, the greatness of our indian corporate vs political distance. But that seemed to be short-lived!

I am aghast at the statistic which said “The Congress, between 2004 and 2006, received a bulk of its funds from industrial houses. Mahindra and Mahindra gave it Rs 25 lakh, SRF Ltd. Rs one crore, Bharat Forge Rs one crore, Mahindra and Mahindra Rs 75 lakh, Bajaj Auto Rs one crore, Hero Honda Rs 25 lakh, Larsen and Toubro Rs one crore and PSL Ltd Rs one crore”

So whom do you think is going to benefit after they come to power? You or the companies????? Is the election commission doing something about this? I tried to find and to my surprise its constitutional to do so!

A fundamental flaw
