At the time of Election, the Indian public had a festival time. False manifesto, promising rice @ Rs. 1/- per kg, free laptop. But here comes the real bonanza, vote and take 1000 or 2000 or 5000 rupee. This is the real Democracy.
And India is labeled a poor country.
When a State election is fought with 1000 of crores of ruppes, when a scam is never been of less then 2000 crores, the lebal has actually of no meaning at all.
Electoral officials in Tamil Nadu today seized about Rs 570 crore from three containers during checking in Tirupur district, which the occupants of the vehicles claimed was for inter-bank money transfer.
Officials said that personnel accompanying the containers told them that they were transferring Rs 570 crore from State Bank of India in Coimbatore to Visakhapatnam branches but did not have all the necessary documents and efforts were on to ascertain the veracity of their claim.
The flying squad of the election department, along with paramilitary forces, seized the cash early this morning during a routine vehicle check on Perumanallur-Kunnathur Bypass, police said.
The containers escorted by three cars, did not halt, but officials chased them and stopped them near Chengapalli.
A check revealed the amount, kept in many boxes, inside the containers, they said.
The men in cars, who claimed to be policemen from Andhra Pradesh but were not in uniform, told the officials they were transferring Rs 570 crore from State Bank of India in Coimbatore to Visakhapatnam branches.
However, they could not produce any proper documents to substantiate their claims, following which the vehicles were taken to the District Collectorate in Tirupur.
