………let them have smart phones!
That must be what L K Advani thought while preparing BJP’s IT vision, which declares: “Every BPL (Below Poverty Line) family to be given a free smart mobile phone, which can be used by even illiterate users for accessing their bank accounts”.
How smart is that?
Advaniji, thoda sa problem hai, they need at least two things before they can use smart phones to access their bank accounts; they ned electricity to charge the smart phones (smart phones are not that smart, they still need electricity) and some money to deposit in the bank account!
But then if they have these they can very well buy phones themselves, so Advaniji don’t worry about smart phones, provide basic infrastructure.
If they don’t have bread…..
