Report published in popular Newspaper on poverty status of the country has not defined the present level of poverty line based on which it has been concluded that about 37% of Indian population lives under poverty line but it definitely exposes the true story of all development expenses done by Central and state government during last 60 years. In the name of poverty alleviation various governments have spent billions and billions of rupees every year but the result is that actual number and actual percentage of persons living below poverty line in India in general has been moving up and up. Poor people are growing poorer and their pain has been increasing year after year.
Government all the time talks of GDP growth and tells with pride that India will lead the world. This story will also open the eye of such VIPs, politicians, social reformers, administrators and economists who talk of social inclusion but fail to do any thing in this regard.
Prices of all commodities have been moving up every day and the position of majority of Indians have been becoming alarming day by day due to erosion in their purchasing capacity day by day. Our Government talks of merger of banks, reservation for minorities, increasing the domain of OBC for some caste or the other but do not try to understand whether so called GDP growth is really benefiting poor people or confined to a few percentage of rich persons.
Our beloved Finance Minster do not try the understand the gravity of increasing pain of more than 90% of Indian population due to unprecedented price rise forgets to take care of poor and people living below poverty line and the increasing pain of such poor people. He has to understand that every talk of GDP growth is farce until it reaches in the hands of real poor.
