Then, what steps are you taking to stop

this bIack marketing?

My India is great! 99 out

There's not much pIace in JaiIs

for so many peopIe.

If there's a person earning 2 Iakhs or

5 in a day...

We'II not even turn towards him.

But, if anyone is earning more than

Rs.1 crores,we'II not spare him.
