When your wedding guest list is longer than the population index of many towns in Australia, you know everyone’s sitting up and watching.
BJP leader and mining czar, Janardhana Reddy will be hosting 50,000 people at his daughter’s wedding; a wedding that will cost the family Rs 500 crore. This, at a time when the country is literally stranded on cashless land. The country, that sought to do away with its black money by surgically removing 90 percent of its liquid cash from the economy, seems to be precariously placed vis-a-vis Reddy’s wedding celebrations.
The dichotomy between big(ger) money and small(er) fry never seemed more apparent than at this moment. While one wedding stocks up on enormous amount of cash, regular citizens like you and me stand in serpentine queues for hours, without even the guarantee of receiving our OWN hard-earned money.
Yet Reddy and family seem to be swimming in cash reserves that they claim are “all white”.
This implausible reality has got tweeple talking. Take a look!
