Yes,it will increase the number of lazy and drunkard_people.
Most of the cheap rice will be used to prepare country_liquor.
Government is yet to understand the basics.Or purpose they want to ignore the reality.Give them work,give them education,make the work hard and let them earn.And then let them spend money to buy food.
In 2009 it was MNREGA & Farm Loan Waiver. And now for 2014 its Food Bill. It's really not hard to understand the intentions behind all these acts. Sonia & her team has really no right to play with our money (Tax Payers). Voters please don't fall prey for such cheap gimmicks. All they want is Vote. It really doesn't matter what happens on ground. Please do look at CAG's report of MNREGA & Farm Loan Waiver. Congress & its con men have looted this country.
it will definitely be use full for the musclemen and the needy wont get any benefits. see the fate fate of yellow cards and reservation policy of Indian politicians and only mighty people gets the benefits.This scheme of the congress will definitely produce more beggars. See the fate of PDS system the whole "ration" is being sold in the market and the Govt. is internally blind spectator. this is one more step by the Govt. to benefit the Congress at the cost of tax paying middle class.
increase number of votes (bank) for most corrupted politicians. In India, main reason for poverty is mainly due to attitude of person. Reason for poverty is due to attitude of the person. If one person is not interested to any work, then he and his entire family will become poor. There are few parents who send their children for begging in public places and they eat from the collected money. I have seen these kinds of incidents many times. But I don't know whether you have seen or not. Unfortunately India has some amount of these kinds of people. Another possible reason for poverty may be VERY VERY LESS PAYMENT FOR THEIR WORK. SOME TIME THIS TYPE OF UNDERPAYMENT MAY BE BASED ON CASTE. To remove underpayment system, the government should make some useful rules and regulations for fixing salary limit. If government is going to implementing strict rules and regulations for fixing good salary limit, then poor people will be benefited. However, giving free or subsidized items or foods will definitely increase or encourage number of laziest people in the society. PLEASE REMEMBER THE FOLLOWING PROVERB; Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day; show him how to catch fish, and you feed him for a lifetime. MY KINDEST REQUEST TO ALL THAT NEVER ENCOURAGE OR SUPPORT THE POOR WHO DOSE NOT WANT TO DO ANY WORK.
