TEMPLES OF MODERN INDIA ?

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 !
