  1. Spend hundred of crores on Presidential visits to foreign countries with family Members. See yesterday's disclosure on Mira Kumar's foreign trips. Enjoy on public money but ignore Railway Safety, because there is very little budget available. A revolution is not far too away, just a spark is needed.
