politics pete buddha jesus has promised to give back the money you received from corporations kemal harris has made similar statements but here's the thing perhaps they don't get direct funding from corporations but they have a cozy relationship with super pacs those are political action committees that are not legally required to disclose their donors let's not forget joe biden's wisdom from a few years back lobbyist are bad people special interest groups are not bad people but guess what they're corrosive. people who accept money from them or bad people but it's human nature well it may not be being broadcast on prime time television but many top democrats have a very close relationship with big financial interests take amala harris for example she has a super pac of her own that is very close with the bank known as citigroup and kit tamlyn the banks managing director even hosted

6:20 am
failed to make inroads. an election in a country that's home to at least $1300000000.00 people takes a while certainly after more than a month it's finally done and dusted and here is an exit poll and this political bloc is the team behind the man who's already been charge of india for 5 years and the right to draw modi but despite that is still seen as someone who was up against the good old elite maybe that's still the root of his popularity how to look at this simple guy modi as a child the prime minister helped his dad sell tea at a railway station ever heard of the caste system in india well his was officially classed as backwards there was even a t.v. show called the journey of the common man showing his tough life path.

6:22 am
well gandhi's not seen as a serious challenger to mr not in the mold because dynasty is not it doesn't appeal to the young people in the country anymore if you contrast the dynasty off. gandhi who let's see is that a prime minister not in the who actually has risen from the bottom he comes from the very poor section of society he comes from a cost which is although backward talks will be see so given the fact that there is a lot of appeal for people coming from the very bottom and rising i think died on. you know the dynasty of congress and the congress has almost believed it for the last almost 70 years it has completely lost it's of the. year on year it's becoming clear politicians all around the world should have realised being a part of the elite is now out of fashion shall i remind you of what's been going
