While reading something else
yesterday, I stumbled onto an article from 2010 on starvation deaths in
jharkhand. I checked the latest news, hoping the state govt. had had time to
redress this unacceptable situation. It had not – deaths from hunger are still
in the news in 2017. 30 % of Jharkhand’s children are wasted and nearly half are
underweight.
For those who cry speciously ‘Give
BJP more time’ – this is what BJP governments have achieved in Jharkhand since 2000,
where they have been in power for a vast majority of the years. And ofcourse Jharkhand
has its own Lalu also in the form of Madhu Koda.
Bihar, on the other hand
reduced its underweight children from 56 % to 44 % between 2006 and 2016. Nitish
is widely credited as having given a firm leadership to the State.

You really make it seem so easy alonng with your presentation but I
ReplyDeleteto find this matter to be really something that I think I might by no means
understand. It seems too complicated and extremely broad
for me. I amm taking a look ahead to your subsequent post,
I'll attempt to get the hold of it!
