Nerve Endings Firing Away

Mr. Jairam Ramesh is proposing a major reform to our tax code that will enable us to specify which government projects we can direct our tax dollars to. I say, we support this idea to see how it pans out. Mr. Jairam Ramesh has already pledged his taxes for cleaning up Bhopal. I’m sure his seven hundred generations will also live up to that pledge.
