If all these important ministers are crorepatis and many others also, it can aptly be called as crorepati cabinet. As such, it is not surprising that they maximum look after the interests of crorepatis and corporates. In fact, more subsidies have been given by this cabinet to a few thousand/hundred corporates that to the crores of common people of the country. Not only scams in 2G and Coal blocks, but also in every sector since the scams benefit the corporates and the crorepatis.
