TEMPLES OF MODERN INDIA ?
In July 2014 , Rangrajan Committee defined the " Poor
" in India as , following persons :
* In Rural areas ............. those whose daily
expenditure was Rs 32 or less
* In Urban areas............ those whose daily
expenditure was Rs 47 or less
That methodology placed below poverty line ( BPL ) , 363
million persons
Recently , NITI Aayog has come up with a cut-off
point of 40 % of the expenditure curve , which places 484 million Indians below
poverty line ( 48.4 crore persons )
Now , if NDA government were to close down / shut down 53
loss making Public Sector Units ( PSUs ) , it would save , Rs 53 Crore ,
DAILY ( Approx Rs 20,000 Crore every year )
That is a little more than Re 1 / - per poor person per day
Not much to feed his / her starving stomach
But enough to take out for each of them , that Medical
Insurance , announced some time back , with much fanfare !
Now , if NDA government were to sell off the assets of these
53 loss making units ( mostly the land on which these are situated ) , it may
even succeed in raising Rs 10,000 crores
It is high time NDA starts working for the poor , instead of
paying Rs 20,000 monthly salary to a few thousand workmen , who have no work
and pass their time playing cards on the shop floors of these factories !
If you have any doubts re my statement , just ask any TV
channel to send an investigative reporter with a hidden web cam on the shop
floors of these factories !
You will see the pathetic situations of , what Pundit Nehru
liked to call , these " Temples " of modern India
Temples from where the " Gods "
of Productivity have left and parasite " Poojaris " reign supreme !
