Inflation !

    "Astrologers can predict when prices’ will come down"….Mr. Sharad Pawar (Union Agriculture Minister) ,these were the words coded by him as a statement given to media just two days back, which was enough to horrify citizen of this country as Mr. Sharad Pawar’s ministry deal with essential household food commodities and if head of the ministry raise his hands in pessimist, then perhaps no body can understand common people problems and pull them out from their spoil domestic budget and unfortunately this is the scenario since last year’s September month as every essential commodities prices’ have gone opposite directions five to seven fold without any control of Government machinery –

• Right now retail price of Sugar is Rs.46 per kg which was before September,2009 around 19 to 21 Rupees per kg and as per common belief it can touch the mark of 55 Rupees per Kg, Sugar is one of the most used ingredient in Indian Kitchen and one cannot imagine Indian kitchen without sugar.
• Onion is selling at Rupees 23 to 25 per kg in retail whose price in the month of December onwards comes down to Rupees 4 to 6 per kg as fresh crop pouring in the market across India and onion is used almost in every veg and non veg items produce in kitchen.
• Tomato and Potato are second largest used items after onion in producing vegetables and their prices are also three to four times more then their normal prices’ as fresh crops available in the market.
•  Infect prices’ of all the vegetables are touching new heights and it is very dismal hope that prices’ will come down in near future.
• Prices’ of milk touches the mark of 25 rupees per liter and producers are blaming high input cost as reason for increasing price of milk.
• Rate of some of pulses cross the mark of 100 Rupees per kg which were selling usually at Rs.40 to 50.

    Problem of consumer is that their leaders are passing the blame game to other parties despite ruling in the state or centre but doing nothing to give relief to the citizen from the phase of increasing prices’, thus escaping from their responsibilities, but yesterday Prime Minister host the meeting which was attended by lot of minister of cabinet including Agriculture Minster to handle the crisis of increasing prices’ of essential commodities and soon prime minister is going to chair meeting of states chief ministers, it is believe that in coming days people will get relief from inflation. A special cabinet committee on Wednesday approved more duty-free imports of sugar, called for the release up to 3 million tons of government-stockpiled wheat and rice into the market and ramped up distribution of subsidized food. The central government is also asking state leaders to prevent hoarding of essential commodities and to cut food taxes
    Our leaders should understand that they are public servants and they become minister with the votes of countrymen and this period use to come after every five years but because our leaders who rule do nothing for their respective constituencies and for the development of people, ignore their problems first four years of their rule but when their rule entered in the fifth and last year then they keep themselves busy in announcing and implementing populist schemes through newspapers and electronics media by using tax payers money which suppose to be used for public welfare, but their efforts to attract voters and secure next five years some times voters trapped in their leaders offering and give them second terms but often voters give chance to other party to govern state or country and ruling party declared this change as anti incumbency factor of their defeat but never accept defeat because of their distance from common people.
