We gave £1billion aid to India as they built £330million statue: UK

[Chakar The Great]

That is the reason you should read the article before posting your comment....

The engineering project started in 2012, when British taxpayers donated almost £300million to India.

In 2013 a further £268million was given, in 2014 the figure was £278million and in 2015 it was £185million, followed by smaller amounts after that.

Firstly Shut up.

Second I have responded that.

Third thats because the statue was build during that 4 years time.

Fourth Shut up again and stop begging.

India is not even among the top 20 recipients of British aid:

Doesnt matter what number your ranking you still take the aid so calm down

Firstly stop trolling. India already asked no need for aid, we spend more on Fertilizer subsidies than British aid lol as an MP mentioned.

Aid is a form of influence. The organizations which receive them include NGO's. We are not going begging, in fact we are begging to stop giving these aids to organizations.

‘To take £1.1billion in aid

Beggers.

And I thought India doesn't take any aid.
Guess i was wrong.

In a world full of the beggers - India is the biggest begger of all.

We don't claim to be trillion dolla that and trillion dolla this. Our PM is honest and has owned up that he is desperate to fix the economy. You guys on the other hand every day scream from the roof tops about India landing on Mars when millions of your people are tethered like animals to rickshaws.

 

[Indrajit]

The point is India is a recipient of British Aid and they are pointing fingers at you for abusing the money.

No British aid is taken by the government of India. The aid is to NGO’s in India. The British are free to stop that anytime they wish.

What a waste of money all for a damn statue.

• Britain gave more than £1billion to India as it was built the world's tallest statue
• The Statue of Unity is almost twice the height of the Statue of Liberty in the US
• The 597ft giant bronze monument has been condemned as a vanity project

Britain donated more than £1billion to India in the years when it was lavishing a fortune on building the world’s tallest statue, figures show.

The colossal bronze memorial – almost twice the height of the Statue of Liberty in New York – was immediately condemned as an expensive vanity project when it was unveiled on Wednesday.

In the 56 months it took to construct the £330million Statue of Unity, UK taxpayers gave India £1.17billion in foreign aid, according to official figures.

India’s prime minister Narendra Modi attended the statue’s opening ceremony amid great fanfare. It stands on a bend of the Narmada river in Gujarat, Mr Modi’s home state.

He was chief minister of Gujarat when the vast statue was commissioned.

The engineering project started in 2012, when British taxpayers donated almost £300million to India.

In 2013 a further £268million was given, in 2014 the figure was £278million and in 2015 it was £185million, followed by smaller amounts after that.

As the cash rolled in from Britain, the Indian authorities poured billions of rupees into building the 597ft tall bronze likeness of Sardar Patel, one of the heroes of India’s independence movement.

Last night Tory MP Peter Bone said: ‘To take £1.1billion in aid from us and then at the same time spend £330million on a statue is a total nonsense and it is the sort of thing that drives people mad.

‘What it proves is that we should not be giving money to India. It is up to them how they spend their money but if they can afford this statue, then it is clearly a country we should not need to be giving aid to.’

The British aid money was spent on projects ranging from improving women’s rights to funding solar panels and investment in low-carbon transport. Some £14,000 of the cash was spent in Gujarat in 2014, when the statue’s foundations were being laid, to ‘increase religious tolerance among young people’.

Dear English media this is shameful Bitch cry from you.

Our prime minister already said that your aid is peanuts and asked to keep that aid with you. It seems you are crying about the corruption that is being done in your country in the name of foreign aid. Why not shut up and sort the things internal to your country rather than making noise.

 

[Ajaxpaul]

If the British cannot stop the flow of money to India, they deserve this statue to be wedged up their arse.

Idiot, you don't claim to be trillion dollar economy because you ain't a trillion dollar economy. And atleasat we can claim to place a sattelite in Mars, while your people are still eating shit and getting infected by polio.

Aid to NGOs and Christian missionaries used to convert tribals? That's an aid we are actively trying to stop it. Learn the difference between a Govt begging for aid and getting it and a Private individual or organization getting aid. India has stopped taking any kind of foreign aid from a decade or so and it was made clear during the Kerela floods when Indian Govt refused to accept $100 million aid from UAE.

I am not taking any Aid nor the Govt of India. It's the NGOs who are taking it. Understand the difference. It's like if I donate RS.100 to some Abdul in Pakistan, it would mean I am donating to Pakistan.
