The planning commission’s beyond the pale concept of poor and poverty has only made us rue that how unfortunate we are that we’ve a plurality of highly qualified economists in the cabinet. The report which factually flies in the face of common sense is certain to revolutionize the world as it gives a shorter route to curb poverty, just change the definition and you’ll no longer be deemed poor. Do these high profile millionaire members of planning commission have the courage to tell a labourer or a coolie or a rickshaw puller on his face that he is not poor but rich because he makes almost Rs 100 a day much more than the paltry sum of Rs 32 and that’s why he is not entitled to any subsidy? Even beggars make more than Rs 32 a day, so in that case the poor are extinct in our country, right?
