<h1>MPs Criticize Economic Policies for Favoring Elite, Ignoring Census Data, and Exacerbating Income Disparity in India</h1> Economic policies in India are criticized for favoring the 'Bombay club' rather than the general populace, according to a Rashtriya Janata Dal MP. During a debate on the Finance Bill, it was highlighted that India's economic growth is slow, with a significant income disparity where the top 20% thrive while 80% live in poverty. The MP argued that policies are influenced by major industries and media, lacking input from Census data. A Communist Party MP echoed these concerns, suggesting regional discrimination, while a Nationalist Congress Party MP emphasized the government's focus on 'aspirational India' over traditional poverty alleviation.
