April 23, 2014 10:56
The principal of Mumbai's prestigious St Xavier's College has slammed the Gujarat model of development in a strongly-worded letter to students.
In the message titled, 'In the background of Elections', Father Frazer Mascarenhas writes, "The approaching Elections have brought interesting discussions to the public forum on what constitutes human development and how it is to be achieved. The Gujarat model has been highlighted for our consideration Gujarat may be doing well in the first sense, although not as good as some other states in the country. But all the human development index indicators and the cultural polarization of the population show that Gujarat has had a terrible experience in the last 10 years."
He also praised the UPA's Rojgar Yojna and Food Security Act.
