Shameful

Half of world’s hungry live in India
Saddest

I am not a big supporter of statistics. But, there are many experiences that affirm that we do have way too many people who are not adequately fed. And this is shameful. As a democratic govt, it would have been the top priority to ensure that there is no citizen that can't afford to feed himself. Somehow, we have overlooked this fact.

As PM, I would consider it a priority to ensure that there will not be an Indian who does not have access to a satisfactory meal. There are still too many areas that the govt is spending money on without any return, and curbing these dead investments and diverting the funds for more basic needs will be a priority. The loss making PSUs are top of the list of needless investments. I am sure that privatising the factory would benefit much more people than the number of employees that will be rendered unemployed as a result. And in a democracy, it has to be the greater benefit that should be considered.
