In the name of Poor


Most of the inclusive policies are always implemented in the name 

of helping the poor.The poor are certainly not benefitted although its in the name of poor.

I would like to take a simple example of Maharashtra Govt.'s

scheme to subsidise production of alcohol from foodgrains,its

ironial that people are starving for foodgrains.

The government claims that the scheme will benefit farmers.

This policy will fetch better prices for their crops.UPA II's main

objective was to bring PDS system as soon as possible but nowhere

I can see its probability or possiblity.

The foodgrain that is used for alcohol can be used for feeding poor

people.India ranks pretty high in the hunger index,a survey carried

out by United Nations.

These policies are exclusively drafted for investments without keeping

in mind the situation of farmers.

I forgot to mention that the needy people get rotten grains while the

good grains are used for production of alcohol.

One more drop of blood I spill, one more drop of blood you take....
