The National Sample Survey Organisation (NSSO) report once agains confirms the well known fact that despite total growth, the inequality between the rich and the poor are increasing in high proportions.
According to the 68th Survey by this government organisation, the poorest 10% in rural India spend on an average Rs. 16.8 only per day to survive and half of the rural population in India spends less than Rs. 35 per day.
The urban rich are spendinguch more than the rural rich. The monthly expenditure of the urban rich are 221% of the rural rich. If that is so, the urban rich will be spending 1000% or more of the rural poor. What the "Occupy Wall Street" movement in US stated that the 1% Bankers and Corporates control 99% of wealth will become true in India also if the preent anti-people neo-liberal policies are continued.
It is against these anti-people policies and decisions that the Central Trade Unions organised the strike on 28th February 2012. The present 5 day dharna all over the country organised by the Left parties are also in the same direction
