The poor of India are parasites who get free access to electricity, water, pesticides, guaranteed prices etc. All this money comes from urban taxpayers like us. Being poor is not a license to wring money out of productive middle classes.
It's high time that they made some contribution to national development. With such a mindset, how can you build roads or ports? These activists won't be happy until we're all sitting in mud huts weaving khadi underwear.

Give me your address and I will come and show you what economically poor means. These people don't get anything for free but are backbone of your country. But they are probably richer than you in intellect, emotions and values. I think you are poor - intellectually and emotionally.

and rich are leaches, they have so much but still want more. There are many poor in rural and urban area, who have (forget about free) no electricity, water, good school and good health care. Calling poor as parasites is being out of touch with reality.
You may be a urbanite but your thoughts are decadent and reek of bias. You should be made to live in rural India for at least a year so tat you would be able to know what the difficuties are? Better your building should be demolished for road widening or for the metro and you should be given compensation as per govt. rules Then probably you would come to know what the pain of the farmers

You are diverting the attention from main issue.If the land being used for farming is changed to industrial land, one day there will be no farming in India and whole country will depend on other countries. You may have money to buy the costly food being imported but what about crores of other indians who will not be able to buy that costly food. The poor of India are not parasites but it is yoy the rich people who are bigger parasites, who are sucking blood of poor as well as middle class people. In the name of development you are turning this land into a concrete jungle sucking up the natural resources of this beautiful land only for the sake of living a luxurious and lustful life. Money corrupts mind, power corrupts more and absolute power corrupts absolutely and this qoute is truly applicable to you the rich class, the power hungry politicians who are selling this country sucking the blood of not only the poor and middle claas but also the mother india.
I am sure you have not seen the poverty. Imagine throwing your kid in a river when you can treat her, in Jaunpur UP. Imagine selling your kids when you can afford to give them 2 meals a day, in Kalahandi Orissa. Why the hell SEZ needs agricultur eland. Let MP and UP government give them all the Chambal Baron land to develop their SEZ. Talk about poor when you know what poverty is. Poor doesn't live in urban areas, theylive back in tribals.
