The title mentioned above was the heading of an editorial in Times of India today January 26, 2013. 'Having abolished the zamindari system long ago, our netas (leaders) have with aplomb assumed the role of the new landed gentry as if to the manor born'.
The politicians have accumulated wealth and assets worth a few crores of rupees out of politicking over the years. In fact politics has become an earning profession for several individuals with the least investment in money terms. Chief Minister of West Bengal has started demanding the CPM party and its leaders to surrender their landed properties so that her government's deficit can be reduced considerably.
