Planning Commission Vice- Chairman Montek Singh Ahluwalia has opened his mouth at last. With regard to the challenge of social activist Aruna Roy that whether Ahluwalia can live on Rs. 32 a day, he confesses that he can’t. But he is not for change to increase the poverty line. Adamantly he sticks to Rs. 32. Nothing more than that can be expected from a person who is aggressively trying implement the neo-liberalisation policy of the IMF-World Bank. He will not be worried if Ambanis or Mittals get Rs. 50 or hundred crore salary in a year. But he will certainly be worried if the poverty is reduced, since it is only through exploitation of the poor that the rich can become richer. Ahluwalia represents the elite class who benefits maximum from the poverty in the country.
