Poverty indicator: A political joke?

  • 10 years ago
For the Gujarat Govt you are not poor or below the Poverty Line if you earn above Rs 17 a day and are living in a city, you are not poor if you earn Rs 11 and live in a remote village in Gujarat. The BJP which has cornered the Congress in the past over these numbers was quick to defend saying that it was the UPA govt at the centre that had set the rules.
