Modi and Foreign Jaunts: Poverty at Home * 62

Narendra Modi is on another foreign trip, this time he is away to England, the mother country. It was a nation that ruled India for 200 years. Modi has been given an unprecedented welcome , but that is neither here nor there. Speaking and getting adulation from a crowd of 60,000t at Wembley is a great elixir, but how does it help the Indian farmer and the men and women below the poverty line?

India has the highest number of people below poverty line in the world and the figures are awesome: it shows as per GOI estimates that nearly 600 million Indian are living below the poverty line and do not have enough to eat. many a child goes to sleep hungry. It is recorded that on an average about 3-4 thousand farmer commit suicide every year. Pray,  how does  a trip with a adulating foreign media and Indian diaspora  mean anything to such people.?

Modi has his priorities wrong and  that will prove his undoing. Solving the issue of poverty and looking after the agriculturist is the foremost task. When will Modi bend down to it and solve the problem. The clock is ticking away and it will not be long ere we have a French revolution like in France in 1789, only it will be 200 years later.
