POOR INCREASE IN NUMBER AND PERCENTAGE,BUT POVERTY RATE DECLINES

Is it magic ? YES, a magic with Statistics. The Planning Commission, a national Agency with No reality orientation, is adept at Statistical jugglery and data fudging , and it has come out with the startling poverty reduction figure of 21.9 % which even the govt of India is unable to digest. The govt sources admit that the number and proportion of people living in poverty are far higher. Spending below Rs 27.2 in rural areas and Rs 33.3 in urban areas will mean Below Poverty Line ( BPL) according to our insensitive Planning Commission.

Poverty is a great political weapon for political parties. It is doubtful whether the politicians can survive without poverty . Overzealous Congressmen went all out to defend the new poverty decline data. Raj Babbar ,actor ,asserted that 12 rupees are adequate in Mumbai or Delhi for sumptuous meals. He then retracted his words.Another Congress leader said that with 5 rupees one get a decent meal at Mumbai. Marie Antoinett, the French Queen during the latter half of 18th century, has many followers among our politicians. She asked the starved poor: Let them eat cake ". Our leaders' comments are worse than that of the French Queen. Once elected our politicians lead an opulent life and remain out of sync with those who elected them. Even a Village Panchayat council   member builds a beautiful house and drives a costly car. Our politicians are sure that they can manipulate the poor endlessly because GUILLOTINE is not available for the poor.


THE POOR WILL ALWAYS BE  WITH US .OTHERWISE "GOD " WILL CREATE THE POOR FOR THE POLITICAL CLASS.
