Sheila Dixit has stated that her statement has been distorted. Rs. 600/- is a subsidy. A subsidy never reimburses the full cost. This is just a concession and not full fledged reimbursement of actual expenses. There is a limit beyond which government cannot help by giving subsidy. Subsidy also is ultimately finance from taxes. The poor for whom subsidy is meant have definitely a lower living standard. Low subsidy is better than no subsidy. The poor have also some income of their own and are not totally penniless. The subsidy will give them some relief and not totally meet all their expenses.

Yes I think he made a joke. Let her allotted rs 600 for a month and should realize the reality.

I don't know about the statement but of course Rs 600 may be enough for her as all her other expenses may be taken care of by the government. :woohoo:

B) CM of Delhi said that Rs. 600 is enough for a family of five members for a month. I think she is joking. Indeed expenses of these VIP on drinking water, they don't like to drink water which is supplied by water supply undertaking, they used mineral water, is more than 600Rs per day.
