BJP govt in Haryana did not find it politically expedient to ‘apply the stick to undeserving elements’ covered under BPL list owing to Lok Sabha and Assembly polls, it is learnt.
Responding to an unstarred question in Haryana Assembly, minister of state for food, civil supplies & consumer affairs said the surge was recorded between April 2022 & September 2024.
Haryana's revised BPL criteria, expanding the scope for families to qualify as BPL, has sparked debate, with govt data showing 2.10 cr residents classified as impoverished.
The situation will be assessed by MLAs of concerned regions and the Guarantee Implementation Committee will visit homes to resolve any errors in the cancellation of BPL cards.
Siddaramaiah govt says income tax payers, govt employees shouldn’t have BPL cards, but data shows nearly 8 in every 10 of state’s residents claim benefits, 'burdening' the economy.
While the commission didn’t mention provisions under which IndiGo's market domination would be examined, Competition Act 2002 prohibits abuse of dominant position by any enterprise.
It is argued that India-Israel ties are moving from buyer–seller dynamic to one focused on joint development & manufacturing partnership, a shift 'more durable' than traditional arms sales.
Don’t blame misfortune. This is colossal incompetence and insensitivity. So bad, heads would have rolled even in the old PSU-era Indian Airlines and Air India.
