The Sena-Singhe Government is similar to previous family ruled Government.
The common people have no way to make a decent living; only opportunity for mothers and daughters is to become slaves to Oil Shieks; only opportunity for young men is to become labourers and truck drivers in the Middle East.
The rich are becoming super rich while elected representatives in Parliament and Councils are howling from the bottom of their bellies helping kommis karayas and drug barons and kassippu vendors have a filed day.
