Did They Hand in “Cash in Hand”?
The Bhagwa Gang with their "white" money
While the PM was appealing to the entire nation to bear the brunt of demonetisation, and stand in queues for the “greater good”, in which queues were his MPs standing?
Does all their ‘cash in hand’ exist in the non-demonetised currency of smaller notes? Or did they make some of their staff to queue up for them? Where and when?
Did these deposits secretly happen before the 8th of November?
The IT (income tax) department, as the government indicates, might look up the people who deposit more than 2.5lakhs either in one go or in instalments. Will these ministers come under the scanner of the IT department?
According to the mandatory disclosures (March 2016), this is their “cash in hand”,
Finance Minister, Arun Jaitley, Rs. 65,29,400
Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, Rs. 89,700
Minister of Externam Affairs, Sushma Swaraj, Rs. 2,84,150
Minister of Agriculture, Radha Mohan Singh, Rs. 9,95,614
Minister of State, Rao Inderjit Singh, Rs. 9,75,048
Minister of State, Shripad Yasso Naik, Rs. 22,12,683
One wonders where these ministers stood, to deposit this “small” sum of ‘cash in hand’?
