Govt should act without waiting for aaproval/ok from any minister a) Give priority for import of oil/pulses from neighbouring countries and ensure distribution thr proper channel b) all domestic products like vegitable/oils should be opened to scoiety procurement and all these highfly retailers should stop entering these areas c) Hoardng should be made panishable and hoarders name should be published in all leading newspapaers d) all ministries should adhere for auterity measures and practised at all levels e) weekly report of actual situation should be known to public finally let all ministries cooperate and ensure prices were brought under control
Manmohan Singh, and P. Chidambaram are great Financial and Economical experts. They have taken efforts to increase the GDP. They are thinking too much increase India's economical growth. But they don't know that than money common man needs food and protection. They didn't care about India's agricultural growth. What is the value of currency reserve when you have no food to eat. Like Gavaskar says during cricket matches, "come back to basics".

remember the kind of muscle and money power congress has no other parties in india have.
i dont think that UPA govt is to blame for price rise. it's our inherent greed which has caused the problem. Look back and see how much salary increment all the so called middle class people and upper middle people have got over last four to five years due to ever rising economic growth of the country. This has fueled demand for more goods especially the food items as more and more people are spending their money on such consumption items. Nobody complained then. Nobody complained when the govt employees got so much hike recently. Why then the farmers and traders not demand their pound of flesh. They will produce those items and sell those items which earns them higher income. Yes there are issues of traders hoarding food items, but then to which political parties do these trader owe allegiance. to BJP ofcourse. If BJP is so concerned why dont they target the traders who are hoarding goods. Let them gherao the traders and force them to offload stock in the market as Mayawati did in UP. They can't because then they will lose vote. this is similar to the stock market where as long as the market goes up for no reason or rhyme everybody is happy. But as soon as it falls, then the govt is to be blamed. The only difference is that poor and lower income people get really affected when prices go up whereas when market falls, it actually a notional loss.

You are absolutely wrong Mr.Paniker! Only a year back or so, we read in newspapers that FCI godowns are filled to the brim and there are no space avaialble to store grains. And see the stark picture we have been presented today. Rice and wheat are becoming dearer and dearer. There are no counts of incidents when food grains are wasted due to fault policies of the government. it is estimated that rats alone store grains that can sustain our population for another 10 years! Then the policies of total neglect on agriculture. In your own state, if you own any agricultural land, do you think you will be able to cultivate anyting there? Your CPIM workers will put hindrance right from sowing seeds till cultivation. The farmers do not get the enough return and how do you expect them to do agriculture? The government was not giving good support prices to the agricultural products and youths of rural india are attracted to cities where they do nothing productice, except while collar jobs like you and me.

So you mean to say, the responsibility is with middle class and uppper middle class people. Congress or BJP has done nothing wrong. At least be happy that middle class is now in a position to start enjoying. They are the only section not getting benefitted from any party.. or from any budget or from any loan waiver. Why not they get a chance to enjoy on their hard earned money. Don't say greedy.. It is congress govt announced 60000 crore waiver.. do u say it is not greedy for congress on vote bank. You yourself claim traders got support of BJP. Then it is these parties to realise, not the middle class people
its really ridiculous when one culprit charges allegation on second culprit, BJP have forgottend the days when the price of onion was raised upto 60rs. HA haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa, all leaders are culprit,

During BJP rule only onion prices have gone to unimaginable level. but today, everything is expensive except human life under UPA. Yet without any shame, you point finger on bjp for onion prices. What was the onion prices during congress rule just a couple of months ago? What was the prices of tomotto? Ash gourd which was sold at Rs.4 /- a kg (petta) is now being sold at Rs. 16/- to Rs. 20/-, so are all other vegetables like arbi, pototto, beans and what not? better not to speak anyting on pulses and grains. Still support congress, and elect them for another term. Crazy people!!
its not the time to blame the Govt.Its time to join together and re-think as how the problem of inflation can be solved.Example. 1)Reduce the marriage formalities to one day instead of 3 to 4 days so that wastages of food be reduced. 2)Improve public transport system so that people use more of that than private vehicles. 3)increase the train bogies or introduce double decker bogies to double the passenger capacities and reduce the fare further. 4)install auto-off power switches in organisation and govt.offices that will reduce the electricity wastages in unused places. 5) stop or reduce iron ore export and reserve the same of our domestic industries so that the steel price come down. 6)encourage farmers to grow more by providing tractors ,irrigation facility instead of encouraging them to take loan and giving them confidence that nothing going to happen is loan is not re-paid back.
These are few of my suggestion ,many things can be done ,think and act and not act for our own benefits.

Good,nice advise, also Govt can give free, rice, oil, soap, vegetables, TV, current, petrol, free train ticket, etc, then there is no problem for the people and UPA
I think UPA and moreover Congress Party is to be blamed for the inflation that is plaguing us.
BJP in Goa has already conducted a very constructive protest by making availaible important commodities like oil, onions, coconuts, etc at affordable rates i.e appx 30 - 50% lower than tha market prices. and if they can do tis on a large scale, then why our Government cannot?
The Congress beleives in only making money and they are more intrested in kickbakcs out of Rs. 100000 crore nuclear deal or 2500 crores Ram sethu project.
I sincererly request people of Karnataka to show the door to Congress / JD and bring BJP in.

Stop being too political , my friend. Think practically. Obviously, there is a inflation not due to our gvt, but bez of the rising oil prices in the world market. The rate which was below $100/barrel 6 months back is around $120/barrel. Oil is required for transportation as well as with each and every sector in our country. So, Inflation is not due to any UPA or BJP, itz a global issue.

MR. Jacob,
6 months month the par boiled rice was sold at Rs. 12/- and today it is sold at Rs. 20/- YOu attribute this huge increase in prices to a palty 20 dollar raise in the oil prices per barrel! you are being too political man. Your allergy to bjp is understandable, but keep those issue aside, and think of the sufferings of poor and middle class.
Thsi is only the beginning. By encouraging loan delinquincy by borrowing farmers, the congress is doing large scale and long lasting damage to the rural economy. Institutional loans are almost irrelevant for most farmers; they mostle depend on the local money lender. Now these people will refuse to lend or become very choosy, leading to a breakdown of the rural economy, food scarcity and famine. All this for just one election ? This is short sighted and politics of desperation, which unfortunately for the congress, may not succeed in getting them another term as has been historically demonstrated.
