Stay ahead of 90% by just having s**

[Chandni]

According to the proposed policy in Bengal:

₹3,000 to a woman and ₹3,000 to an unemployed person.

₹21,000 for each pregnant wife. You can have 1-4 wives. Four wives = ₹84,000 per year.

So, for four wives with four kids per year you get ₹84,000 (kids) + ₹1,44,000 (wives) + ₹36,000 (man) = ₹2.64 L per year or about ₹22k per month.

When the first child becomes an adult, you'll have ₹25k. Bam, you're in the top 10 % of the country.

Addicting people with freebies and turning the population useless.

I feel the government wants a section of people to stay undeveloped so they can always be used as labourers in inhumane jobs.

[Nitin]

The more I think about it, the more messed up it sounds. Other countries are using more efficient ways to manage their population, but this plan burdens the tiny fraction of real taxpayers and even encourages people to have more kids, which will strain infrastructure after a few years. Maybe they should limit it to the first or second child only.

All Bangladeshis will move to India because of this.

This data is four years old... I wonder what the numbers are now.

MNREGA was still better - it gave manual work and then paid us. At least some work got done. Now it's just free freebies. MNREGA repaired our village roads, ponds, planted trees, and even rebuilt houses destroyed in landslides.

Garibi hatao, but with a twist.

Karnataka model - thank you, INC.

This isn't what we meant when we said 'do long-term planning'.
