Rs. 587500 Crores Indian Rupees were siphoned out of the country between 2000 and 2008 & these funds were meant for the uplift of Poor Indians.

Rs. 200 Crores of money meant for upliftment of poor were siphoned out of the country daily.....It's just unimaginable but TRUE. Read full report here....
