•-The decision of the Planning Commission is an absurd decision, who is fooling the people by taking such decisions. With the hike in all rates mainly of food items Rs. 32 will only be sufficient for a small snack in the morning. Even the lowly meal of vada pav is not less than Rs. 10/- and the cost of tea is not less than Rs. 7/-. The Planning Commission that has their heavy meals is not concerned about people dying of hunger and disease and is making absurd statements like drawing a daily meal of Rs. 32/-. The Planning Commission must include people who live below Poverty Line to plan the minimum rate per day instead of taking such absurd decisions.
