Quota bill redefines poverty line of â¹32 per day as â¹2,100: O'Brien
Speaking about the eligibility criteria of income below â¹8 lakh/annum for reservation in the new bill, TMC MP Derek O'Brien said, "It redefines India's poverty line of â¹32 a day. If we look at the number of â¹8 lakh...new poverty line is â¹2,100 a day." "This bill is an acknowledgement of guilt, that we haven't created any jobs," he added.
