Re: [rti4empowerment] Wherefrom President of india, CM of Delhi, Maharashtra, Jharkhand, Railway Minister, CM of Karnataka etc

Cricket, especially high end, is established to be a medium for scams and corruption and having known this if "our players who by now has turned celebrities" continues to play it is only proof that the future leaders, who the media motivate as 'be the change, lead India and so on are all integral part of these scam and corruption with almost unlimited privileges at the cost of common man and the poor! This was evident when some of our cricket icons after amassing wealth commented favouring the authorities and the stampede during the Bangalore match on inability to provide tickets for common man!  The contry has applauded and motivated them to their iconic positions and when they reach that position they ahve proved not different from any other powers that be! Cricket in India with the way it is managed, preferred, motivated, being exclusive to VVIPs and so on in that sense, appear to have brought about more harm than good for the country!  --- On Thu, 7/4/11, DSouza Wilberious Evanglist <wilevades@yahoo.co.uk> wrote: From: DSouza Wilberious Evanglist <wilevades@yahoo.co.uk> Subject: [rti4empowerment] Wherefrom President of india, CM of Delhi, Maharashtra, Jharkhand, Railway Minister, CM of Karnataka etc To: "rti4empowerment@googlegroups.com" <rti4empowerment@googlegroups.com> Cc: "M.K. Gupta" <mkgupta100@yahoo.co.in> Date: Thursday, 7 April, 2011, 3:51 PM Dear All,   It is a matter of pride that Indian Cricket team won world cup. Has anyone given thought  Wherefrom President of India, CMs of Delhi, Karnataka, Mumbai Jharkhand, Union Railway Minister etc., derive the empowerment or authority to squander public funds to benefit private Individuals by granting Rs. 1 crore & plots/flats etc to cricketers when 76% of Indian population subsist by earning Rs 25 per day?  What is the benefit these cricket players have given to general public? Why stash their pockets when they are already billionaires?   Why not file a PIL just as some Pakistanis have filed for awarding Rs. 5 lac per cricketer there?   Regards, WEDS
