Indian Express reports: An analysis of the countries top politicians including presidents of the Congress and Bharatiya Janata Party -- Sonia Gandhi and Rajnath Singh -- shows that most have not declared their real assets or the real value of the assets they have made public.

The reports shows that they have undervalued their immovable property.

Sonia Gandhi's declarations in 2004 and 2009 mention the value of her 3 bighas of land in Dera Mandi (Mehrauli, Delhi) and 12 bighas 15 biswa land in Sultanpur village in the same area as Rs 2.19 lakh.

But far from being the "current market value" as mandated by the EC, this does not even come close to the declared value of land in the same area by Kanwar Singh Tanwar, a BSP candidate in the 2008 Delhi Assembly election. Tanwar has declared his 12 bighas 5 biswa land in Dera to be worth Rs 18.37 crore, the report says.
