PRADHAN MANTRI MODIJI!
It is a very Good idea to give fortified with soya wheat flour.
But Pradhan Mantriji , processed wheat flour has brought Diabetese to Gujarat. It is a great curse. Tame Kyare Jagso ane Gujaratne Jagadso?
But Modi Saheb, Gujaratis lived long lives on gluten free Bajra.
Introduction of Ramdevjis ADARSH ATTA would be a better alternative.
Also Ramdev Daliya is another good alternative to give free to all school children from All back grounds.
There is a great danger and it is by allowing American companies to introduce crops with terminator genes.They will destroy all crops by making all other seed varietes to produce unfertile seeds. It will Cull (KILL) Indian populations by american design.
This was always a CIA plot to control food as weapon, against INDIA during Cold War..
Red Indian population was defeated by whole sale slaughter of Buffellos .
You should introduce food Vakhar in every village and give money for Rat free,flood free storage in every hamlet ,village, town and city to store 2 years grain themselves rather then Central food Agency who waist the food.
And are currupt criminals.
Great…At least someone is worried about ppl BPL and their future. Adding little extra protein in flower is good. Ashokbhai ppl who are starving have nothing to worry about diabetes until they have too much.
KK please explain what is ppl BPL ?
I think people in India are hungry because the East India Company which really had a charter to Rob and pillage only in name of Trade( Trade in 1635 meant to rob or steal by force) subverted the old Indian system and replaced it with a captive SLAVE colony.
The Taxes were imposed to enslave and deprive people and compel them or force them to work for their own colonial masters.
The tribal people who for time memorial looked after jungles were told they could not harvest the trees because it belonged to company sarkar. In name of protecting Jungles they were thrown out of their own Habitat.
That gave their churches easy access and excuse to convert them by offering food and clothes.
The Entire Indian population had been made destitute and poor.
One way out is to impose a social Taxe on all people, including home less and un employed.
and then provide them a means to Earn
Like give Adivasis right to grow Bamboo and harvest in Dang, Harvest Honey, Plant ten trees every year and let them fell 2 trees and sell them every year,grow herbal trees and sell them,
grow Mahooda trees and sell flowers etc and harvest other prodrcts of Jungle in a sustained way.
Give right to hungry and land less top plant a highyielding Kasava plants on any barren land, road side, outside huts etc and harvest it for food.
.Sonia has allowed Monsanto to produced genetically modified seeds with terminator genes. That will destroy all other crop and and terminate all other food seeds and all crops will be barren.We particularly Gujarati Vegetarians will be at the mercy of Monsanto and Catholic run America and begging for food from Mrs Soniaben Ghandhi.
…..
BPL=below poverty line
ppl= people
