Middle is always sandwiched. The rich protect the government and the government protects the poor. Middle class is nowhere.

I agree, the very poor get a lot of benefits more so if they belong to reserved castes and tribes.My maid bought a site through govt agencies for the lowest rate possible, and after that she was given Rs 1 lakh 45 thousand for construction,free electricity and water, a bare minimum house tax of just Rs 235 per year all because she belonged to the reserved caste and came below the 'poverty line' which is hiked up for reserved classes.She earns nearly 12,000 rupees a month and still comes under poverty level but someone else from the general category doesnt ..So if you come under reservations you get double benefits even regarding Gas cylinders...

That reminds me of the wonderful discussion that we had on reservations some weeks back. Anyway, how do the poor people get double benefits regarding Gas Cylinders?

No one is sure about the number of cylinders per year yet. They have decided that congress run states would get 9 in place of six. This is a ridiculous decision, objectionable and changeable. The rules should be uniform.

In view of quasi federal nature of Indian republic, there cannot be absolute uniformity. state governments have also some authority and discretion. We cannot expect all state governments to act uniformly especially in view of the fact that ruling parties in states differ.

Yesterday in news it has been declared to give 9 cylinders to each family.So it has increased.
