@mrajshekhar @digitaldutta It's difficult for relative outsiders to siphon money out of the national budget. Too much legislative & press scrutiny, and too much competition from other parties seeking funds. But with complex debt-financing arrangements for big hydrel projects, the task becomes much easier.
