Adarsh Scam: Know the facts
Comment: How did all these scamsters get interest free loans? This is height of India's benami, black money and money laundering route. Why are these scamsters still not booked? It looks these looters are seeking reprieve from Sonia Gandhi in the name of sullying the name of UPA- which is already in dumps (The Society is directly writing letters to UPA Chairperxon). Will Mr Shinde succumb to pressure tactics of Adarsh society members- who are really scumbags and have very powerful leverage in Raisna HILL? We need to watch out for the outcome... very demoralising episode for the Military Community!
