Will Planning Commission go same way?
THE Planning Commission of India is another unconstitutional/non-constitutional body created by a Government resolution exercising enormous power and clout. Every Chief Minister appears before the Hon'ble Deputy Chairman of the venerable Planning Commission of India once in a year to get their annual plans approved. The Planning Commission was set up by a Resolution of the Government of India in March 1950 - nobody knows under what authority and under what law or which provision of the Constitution of India and it has grown into a monstrous extra constitutional authority.
The best planning the Planning Commission had done in the last 63 years was said to be renovating the toilets in Yojana Bhavan at a cost of Rs. 35 lakhs while telling the Nation that any Indian who earns more than Rs. 35 a day is above poverty line! And the Deputy Chairman is said to spend more than Rs. 2 lakhs a day on his foreign trips, which are absolutely necessary to do the planning for the poor citizens of India!
