India is one of the five countries, India, Brazil, China, Mexico and Indonesia, which accounts for half of the world’s poor. India  tops the list. This is as per the report of the International Food Policy Research Institute. The report also states that India has got 47.9% of the stunted children in the world, the maximum of any country.

The rules of the country, both UPA and NDA  or Congress and BJP should hang their heads in shame that they could not remove poverty in the country. While the crorepatis and millionaires have been increasing on the one hand, the poorest were also increasing.

The neo-liberal policies being adopted by the successive governments have made the situation worse.  The governments, even after sixty 67 years of freedom can not remove poverty have no right to continue.

These rulers have never known poverty and hunger. Had they experienced poverty and hunger, they would have taken some action, at least. Shame on them!
