Problem is congress did not collect tax. They simply built npas and debt via reckless lending.

 

 

 

 

Headline is misleading. Infact akin to fake news

Most of people came out of poverty under Modi era. The poverty reduction graph fell flat for India between 2005 and 2013.

 

The reason I identified it is because I have been following poverty graph of India and 2018 was momentous occasion when we were no more home to worlds highest poor

Any stats for 2016-2020. Also who ran the study is it congress sponsored. One thing I learnt anytime someone mentions study it’s mostly sponsored. Also why wait this long to publish the study.

You should see what left socialist countries like Canada do. They collect 50 pc taxes. Also congress failed to collect taxes and did push people to poverty with their policies favor only rich and their stooges.

Last year mint claimed this - 

 

India's rural poverty has shot up

Quote

A Mint analysis of the consumption expenditure numbers reported by the National Statistical Office (NSO) in a hushed-up report suggests that rural poverty rose nearly 4 percentage points between 2011-12 and 2017-18 to 30 percent even as urban poverty fell 5 percentage points over the same period to 9 percent. Given the higher weight of the rural population, the estimated overall poverty rate went up nearly a percentage point to 23 percent in 2017-18. The rise implies that 30 million people fell below India’s official poverty line and joined the ranks of the poor over the past six years.

Povety definition in India is a joke, irrespective of who is in power. I wouldn't read too much into this. 

 

Remember that farcical PC by Montek Ahluwalia where he claimed that anyone spending over Rs 26 in urban areas or Rs 20 in rural areas per day can't be classified as poor. Not sure of the figures but it was in that 20-30 range. 

 

Can someone sustain him/herself on Rs 900 per month in Bengaluru? Nonsense. 

 

PS- OP wants to talk about fiscal deficit during UPA era?

We can argue that since Earning rise < Inflation, means we all are poorer. Anyone can make a bench mark, but on a mark where India and Chine were compared, Chinese poverty went down significantly post 1990 while India maintained near about straight line for very long. I am in direct touch with rural India, 3000 Rupees makes massive difference in living standards of these people

Gollum Bhai, India is trying to reduce "Extreme Poverty" like the ones in Somalia, Nigeria and other third world African nations

and also this is a bit contradictory.

 

If the OP link is saying poverty declined from 2005 to 2015. The link vibhash posted suggests poverty rose from 2011 to 2018. There is an overlapping period which suggests that either the methodology is different and/or the thresholds are different.

What are we comparing here btw ? Increasing globalization & outsourcing vs anti globalization alt right Trump times with increasing automation ? A fiscal problem corrected with stimulus vs a once in a century global pandemic not having an end in sight ?
