Also, he indicated that alcohol was expensive because it is overtaxed adding that a bottle of four cousins wine goes for KSh8,000.
In addition, he noted that VAT in India is 25% therefore items were expensive here adding that roads and infrastructure were highly developed.
“I have liked their city metro. Petrol prices are same as Kenya. Pollution is real here from rivers to air! It’s bad. There is smog so one cannot see far. It’s brought by farmers burning vegetation, dust and smoke pollution.
“Religion is everything here. It’s part of life in politics, education, family and business. Hinduism and its many gods are revered and it’s the predominant religion,” added the politician.
