FARMER SUICIDES AND MALNUTRITION DEATHS GALORE; BUT INDIAN BILLIONAIRES ARE RICHER BY Rs1.28 LAKH CRORE.

The data Released by Bloomberg Billionaires Index, reveals that the Indian billionaires have added a whooping Rs.1.28 lakh crore to their assets in the financial year 2016-17.

Mukesh Ambani annexed the maximum , $6 billion to his personal wealth to retain the tag of India’s richest with a networth of $28.7 billion.

The second positioned L.N.Mittal has $15.9 billion. He too added $1.5 billion to his networth, growing 10.4% over last year.

Dilip Shanghvi, the Pharmaceuticals leader is in the third position with personal wealth of $14.7 billion. He has addedn $1.9 billion to his kitty, growing 14.8%.

So, this is one ‘shining’ side of our country for which the ruling class is quite proud of.

But what is the other side. ?

Farmers are committing suicide as they do not get any help when in distress. Malnutrition deaths of children and pregnant women are increasing alarmingly. Unemployment of the educated youth is also growing. Thousands of villages in our country are yet to be electrified and crores of people are still to be provided with drinking water and toilets.

But the central government is still trying to deny the workers of their legitimate rights by amending the labour laws , factories act etc to enable the corporates tx exploit the workers further and add to their whooping profits.

THIS IS CAPITALISM; RATHER CRONY CAPITALISM.
