1/ In a recent programme organised by India Today TV, Union Minister Prakash Javadekar praised BJP Development model in Gujarat
2/ And he proudly announced that all the other states are looking at Gujarat as a model state for development
3/ We have done many comparisons on HDI of Gujarat with other states where we hv seen Gujarat lagging far behind, even behind the NE states
4/ In this thread, lets check only one aspect of Gujarat Model development and how much truth is there in BJP’s claims
5/ People living under poverty line is a good measure to check the prosperity of a state. Where does Gujarat stand?
6/ We can check both Rural and urban population, Rural and Urban poverty line, state wise variations and
7/ Total population living under poverty line. Instead of using the absolute numbers,for except the poverty line,all numbers r in percentage
8/ Rural population living under poverty line. Where does developed Gujarat Stand? 
9/ Even after tall claims, 215 out of every 1000 people live under poverty in Rural Gujarat. Hyped Media campaigns can’t hide this fact
10/ Here is the rural Poverty Line of these states. 21.4% of the rural population of Gujarat is not able to earn ₹932 per month.
11/ Modi claims billions and billions of FDI came in to Gujarat and a lot of industries came up in his tenure and he developed Gujarat
12/ So where does Gujarat stands in number of people living under Poverty Line in Urban areas
13/ Most of the poor small states are ahead of Gujarat. And remember, we are not taking any UTs. All of them are ahead of Gujarat
14/ Looking at the Poverty Line, we can understand, Gujarat has one of the biggest gap between Rural and Urban Poverty line
15/ And one tenth of the urban population in Gujarat is living under poverty line. Amazingly, J&K and Rajasthan r much better than Gujarat!
16/ Interestingly, Punjab has more poor in urban areas than in rural areas. Poverty Line of Urban Kerala is lower than that of Rural Kerala!
17/ Let us leave the segregation and check the total population which is under poverty line - 16.63% of Gujaratis live below poverty line.
18/ That is 166 out of 1000 people live in absolute poverty in The most developed model state - A heaven created by Modi - of Gujarat!
19/ This the inclusive development of 22 years under Modi and BJP in Gujarat. It just widened the gap between the urban n rural poor hugely
20/ This is the kind of development current BJP government led by Modi is doing in India right now. When RSS authors like R Jagannathan +
21/and S Gurumurty say “the survival of the fittest” its nothing, but gradually wipe out the poor by making it difficult for them to survive
22/It is for Indians to decide whether you want to give another chance for such people to exploit us. Remember, Gujarat is your first chance
23/ to show you need a change. Let us tell every Gujarati to use his franchise to throw such crony capitalists out of power.
