During elections public representatives - MLAs, MPs, MLCs, etc file affidavit declaring their assets before the Election Commission of India. And every election the the value of the assets - movable and immovable property - seems to soar exponentially, and that too within a span of just 5 years. Such source of assets needs to be investigated.
The assets of the candidates are growing disproportionately during their tenure. How could they amass such a huge wealth after they have been elected is a vital question, that despite non-disclosure of many other sources of income in quite a few affidavits.
Those who know the tricks of amassing wealth by illegal means have not been affected and they have already manipulated their ways to put it in safe havens. People should have right to question why the government has not taken action against those who are hoarders of wealth. It needs a system to tackle it.
