How Nabin Patnaik is defrauding Odisha?

How
Nabin Patnaik is defrauding Odisha?
On
the eve of visit of Prime Minister to Odisha,  Nabin Patnaik, Chief Minister, Odisha  has played another political trick ( genuine
fraud trick ) by  writing  a letter to the Central Govt.   seeking allocation of more food-grains  for 34.40  lakh people of Odisha under  Public Distribution System covered under
National Food Security Act.   As per section 3(1) of the NFSA,  the Central  Government has  fixed allocation of   21.09
lakh tons of food-grains for 3.26 crore beneficiaries i.e., poor people of
Odisha whose food security is in danger, fixed 
by Central Govt ( schedule-IV of the Act).  But as per the information obtained under
RTI, presently total no. of 3.23 crore 
(  around 84 lakhs families ) are
getting food grains under PDS in Odisha. 
 Besides that around 10 to  15 lakh applications are pending in different
blocks seeking  ration card  for food-grains under NFSA. They are poor and
deserved to get the card.   If both 
the figure ( 3.23 crore beneficiaries + 34.40 lakh families  sought by CM to be covered under PDS ) is
taken into account, then total no. of  3
.57 crore  people of Odisha ( roughly 4
crore people ) deserve to get ration card, as they are  poor and lives in food  insecurity. As  their 
food security  has reached in such
acute stage,    they   have  come forward to  take ration card  just to get 
5 kg of rice per person per month ( section 3 of NFSA) to satisfy their
hungry belly.
 It is 
concluded  that in view of  acute food
scarcity  of the poor and finding lakhs
of genuine applications pending for ration card, Nabin Patnaik  finding no way  for solution of this problem   has written letter  to Central Govt. for  additional allocation of  food-grains 
for 34.40 lakh people of Odisha
. It means    the 18 years of Nabin Patnaik Govt.  has made 4 crore of people poor  who are 
unable to mobilise two square meal per 
day   and deserve to get ration card.
On
the other hand, the same Nabin Patnaik Govt. has  claimed 
that  poverty ratio  has drastically reduced  to 26.90 % in the state. In the State
Economic survey report for 2017-18 presented in the last  budget session, it is mentioned  that 
the poverty ration which was 32.59% in 2011-12 has been reduced to 26.90
in 2017.  Similarly,  per capita income has increased to  Rs. 72,780 in 2017 and  estimated to reach at  Rs. 92,727 in 2018. The state Domestic Growth
Rate  has increased to  7.14 which is higher than  that of National growth rate ( 6.5).
If
there is huge growth rate and substantial reduction of poverty in Odisha,  then 
why 4 crore of people  are still
knocking at the door of Govt. to get just 5 kg of rice per month under PDS.
Are  they really poor   or Nabin Patnaik Govt. has made them  permanently poor. So that  they 
can mobilise central  fund in
their name and  loot it.
The
above mentioned statistics shows 
how  Nabin Patnaik is defrauding
us  showing us a false growth rate  through  statistical jugglery by keeping crores of
people in abject poverty and hunger.
