We think sometimes________ that poverty is only being hungry, naked and homeless. The poverty of being unwanted, unloved and uncared for is the greatest poverty____ We must start in our own homes to remedy this kind of poverty.

Incredible bravery of acid attack victim
Patricia Lefranc was left horrifically disfigured after her jilted lover sprayed sulphuric acid on her face. The 48-year-old lady spent three months in a coma. She lost the sight of one eye, became partially deaf, and had to endure 86 surgical operations. Two years have passed since the attack; still the acid continues to erode her skin and eat away her nose. Being mocked by her son’s school friends, being stared at in the street, being cited as example to unyielding girls by threatening lovers..., the horror and shame of it haunts her in myriad forms. 'Remes has ruined my life as a woman. I am determined to look him in the eye and show the jury what he has done to me. I would also appeal to his wife. She paints me as a manipulator who hooked her husband. I think that's an insult - a dagger in my back.'Richard Remes, the accused, has apologised for the attack; but he denies that he intended to murder or even maim her, confessing that he did not realise that the acid would have such horrible consequences.The story goes that Ms. Lefranc was a janitor in the apartments where the accused Mr. Remes had been living with his wife and children. There he fell into an affair with her, and when she wanted to close it after two years, showered the attack.

New Delhi: Congress General Secretary Rahul Gandhi started his five-day Jan Sampark Abhiyaan (public contact programme) in election bound Uttar Pradesh on a more sedate note than his November 14 rally in Jhoosi, Phulpur, near Allahabad where he was very strident and aggressive.
Embarking on his Jan Sampark Abhiyaan from Barabanki in central Uttar Pradesh, Rahul Gandhi claimed that the Congress was committed to provide the state a government that would take care of the 'aam aadmi' (common man), a slogan than he has used several times to target the Mayawati government.
Addressing party workers in Barabanki, the Congress scion carefully chose his words to target the state government, perhaps to avoid the controversy that erupted after he called the migrants from Uttar Pradesh beggars.
"If you don't do well, you will have to go out, the way you go out every year, to Maharashtra, Punjab and Haryana. You will have to go out and work there. Hyderabad are ahead in Information Technology. Even if UP wants to go ahead in Information Technology, they can't because Bangalore and Hyderabad have already reached the top spot. Tamil Nadu and Maharashtra are doing well in automobile industry. India is moving ahead, but UP is lagging behind. Other states are moving ahead, in 20 years nothing has changed in UP," he said.
Accusing the state government of not utilising Central funds and not implementing Central schemes properly, he said, "Congress party wants to bring 'aam aadmi' government in UP. We want to see truth win against money. We send money from Delhi but it doesn't reach people in UP. We want to employ people through MNREGA scheme, but it doesn't reach people. Money goes to middlemen, ministers, officials. It doesn't reach the common man. UP Chief Minister has said that MNREGA is not needed and doesn't benefit anyone."
"We started 'Janani Suraksha scheme' for women but the money reached the wrong hands. The officials keep the Rs 1400 that every woman giving birth to a child deserves. If people want to change UP, it's not possible to do it from Delhi. The government has to change in UP. Our effort is that every person in the country gets a UID number, so that the money that each person deserves in the country reaches his account directly. The money that belongs to the poor does not reach the poor, the money gets stopped at Lucknow. We want to reach out to people directly. We will not do one caste politics, we will bring development oriented government," he added.
However, infighting marred the first day of his programme as Congress ticket seekers clashed and even stopped Rahul Gandhi's cavalcade in what can be called a security breach as he enjoys Z+ security.
Even before Rahul started on his starts his five-day public contact programme from Barabanki in Uttar Pradesh, Congress factions belonging to Union Steel Minister Beni Prasad Verma and Barabanki MP PL Punia clashed over ticket distribution. There was more trouble for the Congress some party workers jumped before Rahul's cavalcade outside Lucknow airport claiming discrepancies in distribution of tickets for the Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections.
The Congress workers claimed that they wanted to draw Rahul's attention towards the denial of ticket to Subodh Srivastava from the Lucknow Central Assembly constituency.
However, unlike Jhoosi where several Congress leaders including Union Ministers rushed to beat up the protesters who had managed to reach near Rahul's helicopter and wave black flags, no party leader was seen taking on the protesters.
His five-day tour that will cover Bahraich, Balrampur and Shravasti will end with a public rally in Kushinagar in eastern Uttar Pradesh on November 26.
