Poof ... And There Goes Poverty

The Planning Commission of India should be nominated for the next Nobel Prize, or perhaps even be canonized for its ability to create miracles.

In a affidavit The Planning Commission has stated that if a persons daily income was  Rupees Thirty two ( Sixty seven cents in US currency ) in the urban area and Rupees Twenty five  ( Fifty two cents )  in the rural area , would no longer be considered poor.

So with a stroke of a pen the Planning Commission has reduced poverty for a few hundred million people, something which normally takes decades of economic development. If that's not a  miracle then what is ? Mother Teresa did not even come close.

Incredible India never ceases to amaze !!!!
