Poverty Line Debate

If Iyer feels his calculation of poverty line is very logical and sound he should strongly recommend to the Government to reduce the salaries and perks of all MPS, MLAs, Industrialists, bureaucrats and make it uniform to all as Per Tendulkar's poverty measurement and Planning Commissions Measurement.Let all Indians live on that levels of income. Then there wont be any grouse. If wealth cannot be shared reasonably well to all at least share the poverty which should not be that difficult.But fooling people with senseless and mindless calculations without going by the ground realities of the situation can incur only the wrath of the people.
