Mass poverty doubled in the last 2 years in India.
28% poor in 2019, doubled since then.
134 million people subsist on less than 2 dollars a day.
Sticking fingers in your ears and chanting nyah-nyah-nyah-nyah-nyah is not going to feed those poor people.
Before someone has the bright idea of telling me American stats... the U.S. has a social security structure to help those people. Food stamps, Medicaid, and the like. It's not ideal, but better than nothing.
Maybe you can tell me Modi and gang are dealing with it. Maybe you can claim it will take time. What is prob not good to do is pretend those people don't exist.
😆
he problem is that BJP and its supporters cry blasphemy if anything goes against their Govt....they call everything a conspiracy against Modi....like the happiness index is already being called a sham....everyone in this big bad world is out to get the innocent Modi.
