At 28%, Bhumihars poorest in general category: Survey

IndiaTimes Tuesday, 7 November 2023
Alarming poverty levels beset Bihar's Bhumihars, considered the biggest land-owing caste in the general category, and more than a quarter of the ruling Yadavs and Kurmis face deep deprivation, the state's caste survey data suggests. SCs and STs are the poorest overall. According to the report, 27.6% of the Bhumihar families are in the poor category, meaning they have a monthly income of less than Rs 6,000. Others in general-category poor are Sheikhs (25.8%), followed by Brahmin (25.3%), Rajput (24.9%), Pathan-Khan (22.2%), Syed (17.6%) and Kayastha (13.8%).

Congress MP Shashi Tharoor accuses Modi 3.0 for favourable treatment to satisfy coalition partners

Congress MP Shashi Tharoor says, "... Budget of health and education ministries have been reduced, so I asked them the reason. There is no politics in this. Two states have been given favourable treatment to satisfy their coalition partners. We know this is how it works and we also have the right to protest against it... I am happy for the people of Bihar for getting such a generous package. It is a very big deal... 3 Congress and 1 DMK Chief Minister said they would not attend the NITI Aayog meeting because there was nothing for their states in the budget... Maybe Mamata Banerjee has an issue which she wants to discuss..." #ShashiTharooronBudget #budget2024 #ShashiTharooraccusition #oneindia #oneindianews ~HT.97~ED.101~
