Dear Shri Vohra Ji,
Thanks I getting your Bhagiadari mail regularly. The current one I had today about the hike in petrol prices. This is one of the highest hike in cost of Petrol and we have to spend more in almost many commodities of daily use because hike in gasoline do effect in price rise. In one hand corruption is deadly cancer and uncontrollable. Government is totally failed being the responsible for this but irresponsible in performance.
I am forwarding the rate list of MP's canteen at Delhi forwarded to me one of my friend.
Parliament Canteen's Menu Card
Can you imagine a vegetarian thali lunch for Rs.12.50 or a katori (small bowl) of dal at Rs.1.50, and chapatis for a rupee each at a time when the prices of essential commodities are touching the sky?
Yes it is possible, even if food is getting out of the reach of the poor in the country. Welcome to the Parliament House canteen - where delectable dishes will never act pricey.
A series of catering units run by Indian Railways at Parliament House, including at the library and the annexe building, serve food at rates which are a good decade old but are hard to digest for a newcomer. MPs, who are seen shouting at each other and castigating the government over the rising food prices, definitely relish the cheap canteen food. But, mind you, the facility is not for them only. Parliament staff, low-paid security personnel and accredited journalists too enjoy the delicacies at rates which an ordinary citizen outside cannot even think of Dal, considered to be the poor man's food in India and which is now getting too expensive to even fit his bowl, costs just Rs.1.50 for a katori. Low rates make the desserts sweeter. A katori of kheer at Rs.5.50 will never taste bitter. So will a small fruit cake at Rs.9.50 and a helping of fruit salad at Rs.7. If you want to have soup, enjoy a bowl full at Rs.5.50

Stop fighting with each other friends, its time to stop trusting politicians blindly, they all are enjoying their lives, and the only people suffering are Poor and Aam Aadmi, while the politicians fill themselves up to the brim with this cheap food so that they have sufficient energy to throw slippers and make perfect asses of themselves inside the venerable Parliament.
This for your information and find out we the voter, vote for wrong cadidate.
With warm wishes.
