Today Gujrat is considered to be the most successful state of the country. It is performing on all parameters right from the GDP, industrialization, special economic zones, per ca-pita income despite worst earthquakes and communal riots back to back. The credit certainly goes to none other than Narendra Modi. He has been an innovative and capable leader.
But the statistics of National Family Health Survey (NFSS) is a complete turnaround of all aspirations and expectations. Acoording to NFSS, the percentage of malnourished children in the state incresed to 47 in 2005-06 compared to 1998-99 when it was 45. And Narendra modi has been the king since 2001, means undernourishment has exacerbated during his tenure.
More alarming is the recent comments by Modi in the Wall Street Journal. According to him, undernourishment is more prominent because of the fact that Gujrat is mostly a vegetarian state and a large middle class population. The problem further aggravated when he raised alarms that the middle class women are more concerned about their make-up rather than food stuffs. These comments are being criticized over the whole world. It shows the insanity of a candidate who claims to be the next prime minister of the country.
By telling Gujrat as a vegetarian state, he not only ignored the Muslim populations but also raised alarms that veg food is insufficient to meet calorific demands.
The state has developed on all terms but the development has not reached to all sections of the society. It is high time that Modi should concentrate to all sections of society and make his candidature as PM more and more firm
