Is it a mis-use of public money by government in INDIA ???

I was shock after reading this news. Even today in India there are thousands of people who can't offer one time food to their families, and still some politicians or political workers don't give damn about it. Political party are looting public money and spending it extravagantly; instead of using it for public development purpose. Here is an perfect example of it.

On Monday 15 March 2010, "Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP)" (one of political party in India) completed 25 years of existence and also it was 76th birthday anniversary of Kanshi Ram, Founder of the party. On this occasion party has organized a MAHA RALLY, on which BSP already spend more than 300 crores India Rupees (apprx 72,672, 965.30 Australian Dollor). After spending so much of money on rally on the top of that supporters of BSP presented a garland of worth 5 crore INR to party president Mayawati, who is also a Cheif Minister of Uttar Pradesh state. The garland was made of 1000 donomination INR notes. Do you think it was really necessary to give such a expensive gift to Mayawati by her supporters? This money could have been use for some charity work or for supporting the real poor people in India, Instead of presenting it to Mayawati who proclaims to be "Dalit ki beti". And I don't think she would donate this garland to some charitable organization. A good leader don't want money and even if he/she gets it they should use for the welfare of their AMAN. But here, these all money will go in her pocket. This shows were does money go after people pay tax to government. Do you think we have kept door open for politicians to loot us????

Just think in this way their are 100s of political party and if each party decided to spend so much of government (public) money on their rally's and on such unnecessary celebrations; then will their be any money left for the development of country?? Every political party should realize it. I have seen many people in my village struggling to earn each and every penny to support their family. Their has been very less development. Most of the development in our village is been made by collecting money from wealthy people in my village. Construction of cement roads, cement gutters, shops have been done by Panchayat from the money collected from villagers and without any aid from government. As you can see above, government is busy in spending public money for their own purposes.

I just want to point out that, is it really worth to spend so much of public money on rally's??
And also to give such a expensive gift to someone who don't need it. So much cash could have been use to feed several thousands of people across the state or been invested in some development.

I guess,even political parties in developed country like Australia wont spend so much money.
