This is the status in one of the states of our country. Absolute Shame. 9+ growth, Foreign Investments, Booming Real Estate, but still people are starved for Food. One more example to show that the growth is not INCLUSIVE and still there is a huge section of the population has not come under the Beneficiaries bracket.

The worst part is not that the people are asked to eat Rats. The worst part is the confession of the Official that " Half of the grains in the Godowns are eaten by rats". Yet nothing is being done to stop that. Although agriculture is neglected, we still manage to produce enough food to feed the whole of INDIA, the problem is Poor Storage, Black Markets and Hoarding.

"Eating rats serves double purpose" says the Official, Dunno whether he will feed on them, however well cooked it might be?

To Sum it all up "Shame On Us"
