It seems that the top ruling political leaders have lost their connection with aam admi. The report in the press about the statement of Smt. Sheela Dikshit, Chief Minister of Delhi once again confirm the same. She has told the press that Rs. 600/-now being given as cash transfer to the poor will be sufficient/adequate for a family of five for one month for the necessities. It means that Rs. 4 will be suficient for a person for one day! What Nonsense! Can the head of a state utter such Nonsense?

A few months back Dy. Chairman, Planning Commission, Dr. Montek Ahluwalia has stateed that Rs. 26/- is sufficient for a person to live a day.Even according to that Rs. 780/- is necessary for a person for a month. That statement itself was severely criticised by the people and media. Now the Delhi CM has reduced it to Rs. 120/- for person for one month.
The ruling class is worried about the corporates and rich only. They have scant considerration for the poor and needy. The CM’s statement exactly shows this disdain for the poor.
