Disclosed, the wealth of the aspiring MP(ministers of parliament) in India.
Wonder, what the low watermark and high watermark are for these upcoming elections. Atleast, from this article from the “masala time of india”, it is 122crores(~24.5million) to 600 crores(120million). I also wonder how this compares to US senators and congressman.
Soniaji may be at the bottom of the heap…if this article is any indicator.

Earlier this week, the previous richest LS candidate, a Mumbai-based businessman, filed his nomination as an Independent from Surendranagar. Khimji Patadia, 53, has declared assets worth Rs 514 crore, mainly in jewellery and real estate.
Besides Patadia, Bhardwaj beats candidates like the Congress’s L Rajagopal from Vijaywada (Rs 299 crore), the BSP’s Karan Singh Tanwar from South Delhi (Rs 150 crore) and the SP’s Abu Azmi from Mumbai NW (Rs 122 crore).
