House for Rs.1,50,000 - Possible?

I remember a good joke from a movie, released two years back. Its like this.

A son writes an essay for his essay competition. The essay says there is a very very poor family. They are struggling to eat. Their gardener is very poor. Their servants are very poor. Their car driver is very poor. Interrupting the son, his father gives him one tight slap and says, how come a poor guy has a driver, gardener and servants. ........

Similar situation is running now in Andhra Pradesh, India. The current chief minister of the state Mr. Reddy announced that the poor who posses a White Ration Card, can get a house upon payment of Rs.150000 i.e. one and half lakh rupees. I have a question, Sir if they really had that amount in hand why would ever they be rated as below poverty line and be given white ration cards?

And my dear readers, to tell you the real story, all the politicians, real estate guys etc are buying these houses in black. Not even a single house is being alloted to poor. I personally know people who are buying so.

The chief minister is just playing fool of every common man and he is being successful.
