The BJP accused the government of lowering the bar on the definition of
poverty and attempting to mislead the people of India by spinning the
new figures as an achievement.
"If
you change the definition of poor, then poverty will reduce. It depends
how the poor are perceived," said BJP leader Murli Manohar Joshi.
