The other day, heir apparent of a National party claimed that Purulia, WB is among the most backward parts of the country.
( yeah, the same guy who goes on Discovery of India tours in SUVs, and the same who eats packaged food at Dalit houses)
But the indices appear to show, otherwise????
| Purulia | Amethi-Raiebareily |
* People below poverty line | 31% | 54% |
* Families with electricity | 29% | 14% |
* Per capita expenditure | Rs.461 | Rs. 385 |
* Vaccinated children | 84% | 16% |
* Neo-natal deaths | 46 per 1000 | 83 per 1000 |
* Fatality below five years | 89 per 1000 | 160 per 1000 |
For the record, heir apparent's great grandfather, his father, his uncle, and his mother represented Amethi, before he himself was elected from there.
And, for the record, his grandfather, grandmother, uncle and his mother have represented Rae Bareli since.
