See how large hearted he is!
He allows his henchman to take 4000Crores and he keeps only 18 crores as small tips.
But will the Assamese nation now get a mechanism to tell High Commandante " We do not owe you 30,000 Crores -. You owe us 500Billion Dolars. "
And too:
"You can take the 30,000 Crores from your select MLAs ( members of Legislative Assembly) whom we Green-Button-Pushed for --5 yrs back."
Akhil is calling all to do that tomorrow.

There was no line to wait on, in fact, they called us to the counter - right away - what an experience! ! It can be said that the overall standard of Delhi airport is one of the 1st class airports of the world now. The shops are ample in numbers and items and also are beautifully decorated with color and light. The whole airport is splendidly furnished that includes beautiful live plants and decorative items with very good taste.
