India's Poorest Chief Minister: Sri Manik Sarkar

After the last post of Modi and Mukesh Ambani, it is refreshing to read the following post.

It is surprising to note there are still such people among our politicians.

This is what was the original purpose of Communism.

However, people like Jyoti Basu, by their actions have destroyed the name of Communists.

And there is no point of talking of the Congress, BJP, BSP, SP, NCP, DMK, AIDMK, ILD, RJD.

Have I left out any name?

I would like to apologise to that party that their name is not in the Whose Who of Corrupt political parties.

AAP is not to be mentioned in the above list.

They are a league apart.

India's Poorest Chief Minister: Sri Manik Sarkar

One of many honest persons is Sri Manik Sarkar, Chief Minister, Tripura.

He has been elected consecutively for four terms as Chief Minister.

First some facts about this great person.

1. He is the poorest but also the Purest Chief Minister in India.

2. He has been elected as chief minister consecutively for fourth term, one more than Narendra modi's three terms, but zero publicity in our media

3. He does not own a home;

4. His bank balance is Rs. 6500/-

5. He donates all his salary to CPI (M), and the party gives him a sustenance allowance of Rs 5000/- month.

6. His wife never uses his official vehicle and can very easily be seen on Rickshaw in Agartala.

7. Even his worst opponents admit that Manik Sarkar is an impeccably honest man, certainly a rare variety among politicians today.

Now, compare these with other chief ministers or politicians, who have assets worth crores of rupees!

Apart from honesty, Sri Manik Sarkar has been impetuous in the development of the state which includes better connectivity and development of IT sector in state. He was also responsible for bringing the concept of public-private partnership and invigorated private intervention, particularly in the IT sector.

I think he demands nothing from us but some respect and a little bit recognition. So, Please share this post with your friends.
