DARBHANGA — Congress general secretary Rahul Gandhi, who is on a two-day visit to Bihar widely dubbed as an exercise to test the waters, had to leave Darbhanga after students of Lalit Narayan Mithila University got agitated over his Gujarat remarks.
Apparently to woo Muslim students, the son of Congress president Sonia Gandhi reportedly said, “India can change only if Gujarat changed first.”
The students created ruckus accusing the scion of the Nehru-Gandhi family of doing politics in university campus. They asked him to abstain from making political utterances and that the campus was not a platform for such meetings.
Protesting students shouted, “There is Congress government in Maharashtra and you also have the government at Centre, but why do you keep your mouth shut when Biharis are beaten in Bombay. Don’t ever come to Bihar to play your cheap and hypocritical politics.”
Gandhi had to apologize as Congress leaders present at the venue failed to calm down the angry students. He, finally, had to leave the campus as students refused to listen to him.

good to hear that. youth from all over india should realize this soon and save india.
Create a corruption index and depending on the rise/fall in corruption levels, charge us taxes. If corruption level falls, increase taxes and vice-a-versa. This way we can get relief from taxes on money paid in bribes. And the government has an incentive in reducing corruption.

Remove Rs 500 and Rs 1000 from circulation. This will help in reducing duplicate currency circulation reducing cash transactions. Incentivize e-transactions. This will increase accountability.

Make the tax administration as simple as possible. Remove all exemption except the money you get on superannuation. Increase the slab more and taxes can be 10%, 20% and 30%
Instead of Income Tax start collecting Expenditure tax. With this you can curb the black money since all the politician, industrialist are all spending black money through costly purchase.
