Left wing approach vs right wing approach

Leftist movements like Maoism or Nexalism take birth when there develops a huge gap between the rich and the poor. The rich refuse to share anything with the poor. Once the leftists take over the stage, there occurs widescale violence and plundering whereby the rich tend to lose almost everything. Guru Nanak's principle of sharing food prevents extreme left like conditions (seen in states like West Bengal and Jharkhand) to develop. The 'atta dal' scheme for the poor started by the Punjab government, as such, is not a bad idea. However, If such benefit is given permanently, the poor people might tend to procreate at a faster rate and hence the situation might not change at all or may worsen even further. Also such offerings can make the population unduely lazy and hence unfit for survival. Therefore the best option for any government is to lay more focus on quality education and creating job opportunities rather than providing 'atta dal' at throw away prices to the poor section of the society. Aam Admi Party is flexibile regarding its ideology.
Right wing parties are those which support the rich whereas the left wing parties favour the labour class. The main stream parties adopt a midway approach. Aam Admi Party, as claimed by its leaders is not married to any ideology. They say 'If we find solution from the left, we would go for it and also if we find it from right we would seek it with equal interest.'
