CPI-M Leader Laments on Ambani's and Amitabh Riches



Addressing a massive rally in Coimbatore on the concluding day of the 19th Communist Party of India-Marxist Congress on Thursday, CPI-M leader R Umanath launched into the actor.Umanath said there were some very rich people who hoard wealth when there are people who have a couple of chilli pieces for a meal.
Umanath, who mentioned people like Mukesh Ambani and Kalanidhi Maran too, got stuck when he came to Amitabh.
"Amitabh Bachchan has amassed more than Rs 190 crore," he said, adding sarcastically, "Yes, the same Amitabh you see in that advertisement for chocolate."
"He has 11 cars. His wife Jaya Bachchan has 2 cars. Like in those days people had stables for their horses, these people have a stable for their expensive cars," said Umanath.
He said it is unfortunate that people like Amitabh are the role models for youngsters.
"Unfortunately, these days youngsters find only this kind of fame and glamour attractive," he said.
