Bhaskar Opinion: We top the world in milk, vegetables, pulses production, yet 22 crore people are hungry, what is the economic policy?

We have become the sixth largest economy in the world. Happily, our economic policies are still mediocre. Because there is a difference between the ground and the sky in its advantages and disadvantages. The difference is clearly visible. According to the report of United Nations, the rate of growth of the nobles in our country is more than that of America and Britain. During the Corona period, the number of such rich people in India whose wealth is more than two hundred crores, their number increased by 11%. That is, people with more than two hundred crore assets increased to 13,637. Of these, the wealth of more than thirty rich has doubled. Whereas, the bitter truth is also that the wealth of the common Indian decreased by seven percent.

Not only this, another truth has been told in this report that we are top in the production of milk, vegetables and pulses in the world, yet 22 crore people of the country are either malnourished or they get food at the same time. They are compelled to go to bed hungry almost every day. What is this growing economy? What kind of economy is this in which the rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer. The gap is increasing. No one is doing or wants to do the work of filling the pit.

Look at the smartness of the government that we leave no stone unturned to rank our economy as the world’s first, but when it comes to comparing nutritional value, countries like Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Iran, Maldives and Nepal would have stood in front. Huh. That is, speak loudly and if you want to compare the better, then do it with the poorest and smallest countries, so that they keep looking good. Keep looking on top.

Not only this, our pace of eradicating poverty and hunger is slower than all the developed countries, but we also put Bangladesh, Pakistan, Iran and Afghanistan in front in comparison, so we are called top!

As far as the economic policy of BJP and Sangh is concerned, they always believe in objective value based economy. That is, if I am getting tea in India for one rupee, then in America I can get it for the same. This is good policy. So that the poor of India can also feed in any other country at the same price. Well, it has been a long time since the implementation of this policy, but what is the central government doing, which has not given even a penny concession to the middle class in the general budget for the last several years, beating the stigma of reforming the economy? What has our economy done except to make the rich richer and the poor poorer?

Every time it is said from above that we have worked for the good of the poor, the middle class will see for itself. Which poor has become rich now? What is such a development that it is not able to provide even two meals to the poor? It simply means that in the purpose of your development, there is some deficiency in the intention of your economy which you are not able to see and the renowned economists are not able to improve.
