@Kaalateetham @INCIndia India's population - 1.3B
20% of it 0.26B

0.26B x 72,000/- INR = 18,720B = 18.7 lakh crores which is almost one tenth of our country's GDP.

Considering the debt we will have - Rahul Gandhi will take us back another hundred years! #MinimumIncomeGuarantee
@Kaalateetham @INCIndia *(#venezuela is a dead bankrupt country because of #socialistmeasures by Maduro, prez.* Pro-China & Pro-Pakistan, RahulGandhi wants to bring this state to India, with his brainless populist measures)
India spends 1.5% of its GDP on defence, 1% on health, and ~2.7% on education.
@Kaalateetham @INCIndia Pappu is promising 14% of GDP as #freebies to win 2019 elections. This so called fake Gandhi #RahulGandhi instead of making people competent with skills, is making them useless, incompetent with a dead promise of freebies (which never would see the light)

The moment I heard about this, I was sure this is mere marketing attempt which is destined to be failed.

#MinimumIncomeGuarantee
How will you fund this (ponzy) scheme? Who will have to bear the cost? Will salaried people be taxed further? How will you guarantee that this money will reach people's pockets?

#MinimumIncomeGuarantee
Did you see Rahul Gandhi saying "Abhi shock mat hona.." before announcing this scheme? And did you hear him saying "kya shock ho Gaye?"..

This itself highlights that it is an election stunt, which is the legacy of Congress since Indira Gandhi days

The raging debate over @RahulGandhi s promised #MinimumIncomeGuarantee is a good sign. Happened due to the hollowness of the empowerment narrative of Modi. In a country where future well-being of a new born is decided by where she is born, the role of welfare state is immense
PM Modi tried the market/empowerment route to governance. Eg. Crop insurance for farmers, Skill India.. Most of these programs have failed to bring about real change, so we are back to discussing the role and reach of a welfare state.
When there is surplus food production and still citizens die of hunger, it's time to junk the 'I will teach you how to fish' narrative. But #MinimumIncomeGuarantee at the cost of public health or education may not be a good idea.
