This gesture would help Geeta and project a good message to all.

Our politicians have the property in crores , If they make up their minds and think of the public as their family this situation wouldn’t come to anyone to beg for life. How sad ? Whatever they do they need a press meet to show to public about the account of the finance given and also publicity. | |
