Kerala Declared Free from Extreme Poverty

Why This Matters
The declaration has wide implications for social policy and poverty alleviation efforts, making it a focal point for discussions about economic achievements and discrepancies.
Public Sentiment Summary
Public opinion is largely skeptical about Kerala's declaration of being free from extreme poverty. While some commend the state's achievements in governance and contributions from its diaspora, many others accuse the government of using misleading statistics as a political tool ahead of elections. Ongoing poverty and unemployment issues are frequently cited, leading to a strong sentiment that the declaration oversimplifies complex socio-economic realities faced by many residents.

It's just election PR. Even before the current government, Kerala was ahead of many other states. Many people continue to live in harsh conditions.
Before the election, they will declare Kerala as the state where there is no unemployment. Stupid.
False data, Election propoganda only still 4.95 lakhs family coming under AAY Ration card.
How do they measure this? Did they change parameters to measure this?
