GST forgotten! These MPs and leaders fill their stomach at the cost of poor people's life. Poor people kill and poor people die. Rich will be rich always. I dont know when the people will wake up. May be someday US , Russia and others countries will come and say they will solve our problem as they do in the middle east. May be then we can wake up
