A man standing above poverty line was dumped by Govt to below poverty line

Indian Government dumped Mr. Joseph to below poverty line when he found standing above poverty line.

"How can he stand above poverty line when everybody in India is below poverty line?" asked Planning Commission Chief Montek Singh Ahluwalia.

Joseph who was earning around 3-4 lakh rupees per year was consistently tracked by Indian agencies such as IT Department, Planning Commission and Finance Ministry.

Ahluwalia said "It is not justifiable that most of Indians live below poverty line, how can this guy stood above the line. We therefore dumped in by increasing inflation through higher diesel prices, higher food prices and higher what not."

Finance Minister P Chidambaram said that he supported Ahluwalia this time in dumping Mr Joseph to below poverty line.

"Actually, Joseph is novice in the BPL category and therefore he is not eligible to get any BPL sops. But we let him stay in this category for 4-5 years and he would be getting sops like food security and many more," said P Chidambaram.

Government sent a congratulatory letter and momento to Joseph for entering in BPL category.

"With support of all of Indians, we will dump many more from above poverty line people to below poverty line," said Chidambaram.
