Disabled			Senior Citizens
% of population	% of expenditure Of total budget		% of population	% of expenditure of total budget
2.19% (2.2 cr)		8.71%	7.5% (7.7 cr)		1.69%

Mosje spends 8.71% of its budget on Disabled welfare who are just 2.19% of  total population while  it spends only 1.69% of its budget on senior citizens who form 7.5% of population.  Partisan and neglectful attitude towards senior citizens can’t be exposed better.
