Hard to take GP seriously. India can even raise funds from various sources (see: PM Cares) if needed, to provide for these needs. They just don't want to, much rather line their own pockets than feed the poor (who happen to be their voting bank, but are too uneducated to vote in their own interest).

>see: PM Cares
Size of PM Cares fund was estimated to be $1.23 billion dollars[1] (from May 2020, the most recent source I could find). The size of India's food subsidy program is over 2 trillion dollars.[2]
So, PM Cares fund is less that 0.1% of the amount Indian government already spends on food subsidies.
>too uneducated to vote
What's the point of education when you form your opinions with such laziness?
