Unintended Comedy - starts with declaration of assets

Reading the asset declarations of leaders is definitely a welcome relief in between a hard day's work.

Sonia: owns no car and the money she holds in cash is Rs 20,000. she has lent Rs 5,04,394 to her daughter Priyanka Gandhi Vadra.

Jayalalitha: Her assets include a commercial complex worth Rs 29 lakh at Chennai, deposits in banks, financial institutions and non- banking financial companies to the tune of Rs 2 crore, bonds of Rs 50,000 and Rs 20,000 as cash. Since her jewellery had been seized by the police and in the possession of a court at Chennai, it could not be valued she said. She also owns five cars. Jaya also has Rs 20,000 only as cash.

special asset: the wealth case and an income tax case as pending against her before a Bangalore court and a Chennai court respectively.

Karunanidhi: owns property and shares worth more than Rs 22 crore. He is facing five defamation cases, a case under TESMA Act for supporting the strike of state government employees and another case relating to "hurting the sentiments of Hindu devotees".

Politics should be one hell of a career to earn soooo much, when you consider their meagre beginings. ;-))
