Is India really poor

We often keep hearing that India is still a developing country and the people are very poor ........etc...
At the same time we also see the so called spiritual and religious Muthas building temple of crores of rupees,
governments granting money to these institution like flowing water.
Cant the government use this money in a better way. For an instance, there will be a magnificent temple being built but even the road which leads to this temple will be unbearable.  Ho is that a temple is more important than a so called sacred temple.
On this these so called sacred Muthas are exempted from all sorts of taxes. That means it is obvious that these mathas will be the save haven for all the unaccounted money of big political Honchos.
The role of these mathas in politics, which is evident in the present state of govt, is totally unjustified and of no relevance. What does so called spiritual gurus have to do in the dirty game of politics?
Muthas were established mainly to dispense education and serve the people but today they have become the safety locker for all the corrupt politicians.
This money which is concentrated in mathas can really matter a lot to the life of the people and a boast to the Indian economic infrastructure. Why should it be used for some good looking infrastructure which doesn't matter an inch to the ground level economic development of India?

Dont you think these Muthas are the first place to be raided  and audited, they may be even doing something for the local populace by free food distribution but how much of these so called sacred activities account in all the money garnered from the rich and corrupt politicians. This muthas gives the politician a safe locked for all the misdeeds they commit when they come to power.

In my opinion officers like the Lokayukta should raid these Muthas first.
