I have read this stated as a worrying thing before, but why is this problematic ? If they worked for companies prior to becoming politicians or technocrats they would receive pensions....its a declared and documented and legally entitled income. I dont see anything inappropriate in that. Isnt this the same thing ? I mean if they ran the country as a communist state the world bank would not stop giving them their pensions. >This > isn't some idle coincidence - they run modern India pretty much as big > business wants it to be run.
