Another nutcase has spoken. While your head may still be reeling from the rise in prices of almost every commodity, the city #BJP president #AshishShelar says that one can eat to one’s heart’s content for just Rs 5/- . He said this while speaking at the party’s state executive meet held in Andheri Sports Complex. Shelar used the Marathi word ‘potbhar’ (stomachful, literally). A vada pav costs nearly Rs 12, and a pani puri plate now makes you lighter by Rs 20. When asked where exactly could one procure such a meal, Shelar said, “A poor man gets food. He gets food even at the Mahim dargah, where people give them food for Rs 2 and Rs 5.” Shelar has joined a league of politicians who claim one can eat sufficiently for a pittance. Actor and former #Congress MP #RajBabbar had said that one could fill one’s stomach for Rs.12/- in Mumbai, and he insisted it wasn’t just with vada pav. A dozen rupees could fetch roti, vegetables and dal rice, he believed. His fellow Congress party leader #RasheedMasood claimed that R5 was enough to get a meal in Delhi. Lowering the bar even further was former Union Minister and NC leader #FarooqAbdullah, who believed one could eat even for Rs 1, depending on what one wanted to eat. These bizarre comments had come in defence of the Planning Commission’s figures released in 2013, which had pegged the poverty line at a daily expenditure of Rs 33/- in cities. . . . #YoBjpSoSanskari #MyPmModi #Adani #Corruption #PmModi #Ambani #Corrupt #NarendraModi #BJP #Scam #network18 #Modi #AcheDin ??? #Ghanta #GhantaAcheDin #Scamster #Congress #Aap #ArvindKejriwal #Kejriwal #JanLokpal #Feku #FekuMan #ArnabGoswami #toi #timesNow
