He got in with TMC backing last year on a West Bengal seat, as quid pro quo for defending the party in all the scam cases. This time, he tried through the Congress on a Himachal seat, after the TMC refused to back any Congress person. But he has lost, because the Congress MPs cross voted and the Himachal government may also collapse 😂 😂
But don’t rule him out. Just like Sibal, he may quit the Congress and join some other party which gives him a ticket, in exchange for fighting cases for them. 🤓🤓🤓
I couldn't find the 500 mn USD figure there. Adding up the assets, loosely & roughly, they seem close to about 150 million USD. Which is still a lot, but not half-a-billion-lot.
He doesn’t need a Rajya Sabha seat to make money. He wants a Rajya Sabha seat just as an ornament, like rich people wear Rolex watches Ideologically, he is much like Sibal I feel. Can leave INC anytime to join another party which will give him a seat. Wouldn’t rule out TMC, as he is their go-to guy now in all the corruption cases in the SC and Cal HC.
Many suffer from affluenza. True, it was initially invented as a brilliant defense strategy. Now, albeit contested, psychiatry is slowly giving recognition that affluenza is not all cooked up.
Also let's not forget that a substantial part of the bet worth would have also come from his daddy. His daddy is those days did LLM from Harvard and then went to Cornell.
I wonder where Mr. Singhvi would be if not for his daddy, say if he was born in a middle class family.
Take away the surname and inter generational wealth transfers. Also remove the social and political capital accrued across generations. And then we will talk about "meritocracy"
And that tells a lot about parliamentary democracy and especially Rajya Sabha membership. Reduce the size of LS constituencies and increase the numbers; start with an overall 50% reservation for women, SC/ST, OBC; and abolish RS along with President, VP and gubernatorial positions. Such wasteful expenditures.
But don’t rule him out. Just like Sibal, he may quit the Congress and join some other party which gives him a ticket, in exchange for fighting cases for them. 🤓🤓🤓
He has been earning more than 150 crores, EVERY year, for the pas 5 years! This is just insane!
