TOP 10 RICHEST POLITICIANS IN INDIA

The word ‘rich’ is too vast to be boxed into one meaning. When one talks about being rich, one needs to be clear the context in which one is using this term. What does being rich truly encompass? For a financially sound person, being rich would mean- being rich in love; and for someone who is lucky in love but not monetarily strong, being rich would be a hefty bank balance. In our country where millions of people are below the poverty line, being a wealthy politician is looked upon as a sin. Many with humble backgrounds have also gone on to become mass leaders purely because of their hard work and steadfast commitment to work for the people. About wealthy politicians, it would not be right to say that they became rich after entering politics. Most of these leaders have earned good money through sheer hard work, dedication and commitment before entering politics. Our politicians may have questionable work ethics, but that hardly ever stops them to have celebrity like assets. Here’s the list of richest politicians in India.
