Again we need to reform and stop such type of expenses.

It’s the tax payer’s money so it should be only spent on the common benefit of Indian citizens.

We need a law which will prohibit such type of expenses.
A law which will make political parties to spent money from their own pockets.

Farmers commit suicide, schools are held under tree. Villages do not have drinking water and good roads, in such conditions India needs to spend Tax payer’s money
Intelligently.
