India 'diverts funds for poor to pay for Commonwealth games'

According to its methodology, the CIA factbook (which is where that figure comes from) is based on the Indian government’s own poverty line, which makes it irrelevant for comparison between nations (as every country will have different definitions for its own “poverty line”).

That’s why I used UN estimates based on the international poverty line ($1.25/person). You can find the numbers I gave on the UNICEF website.
