Energy (from fossil fuel) crises is worsening day by day. Biofuel is not affordable at the cost of food grains. Ethanol (from sugarcane molasses), biofuel from soybean,from maize and other agriculture produce is not affordable because farmers will switch-over to these crops which in turn causes shortages of food grains. Solar energy generation technology is also very costly. In the future if this technology is affordable again farmers will start doing "SUN FARMING" which in turn causes shortages of food grains. We have to search for another alternative fuel sources. About rising inflation, prices of agriculture produce have risen and farmers are benefitted. Wheat from Rs. 700/quintal to Rs. 1200 per quintal, Soybean from Rs.1300/quintal to Rs.2700 per quintal, cotton from Rs. 2100 per quintal to Rs. 3100 per quintal. Thats what we (farmers) want. Urbans have enjoyed the benefits of economic liberalization from 1995 to 2007. If farmers are enjoying today why it hurts urbans. During NDA regime, they said "INDIA SHINING" but they lost the election cause they ignored the agriculture sector, Chandrababu Naidu lost the election cause he ignored the farming sector and concentrated entire state's resources on the development of IT. People who are bashing congress government should note that they waived the loans on farmers, increased the subsidy on urea, DAP, seeds, insecticides, pesticides, herbicides and that will benefit the congress in the next election.

I am not talking about the scarcity of foodgrains. I am taking about Diverting food grains for biofuel generation. We (farmers) change our crops as per the market trend and prices. We have nothing to do with your stomach needs.

Ethanol is a failed concept, Hydrogen, Hybrid or Electric is the alternative besides BIO Fuel is not env friendly
Central govt under leader of sardar has done big mistake when flying in air to comment of nuclear deal , our sardar mr manmohan should had been patient, he should think as he an indian rather than a sardarjee. signing nuclear deal is something like giving key of tresure to usa .now our sardar has joined hand with criminals and anti social element ,the force of bofors ( amar singh, mulayam, bachan ) . so sardarjee want be boss of this dons . i personally feel manmohan is mad PM as india ever had . in our country people are suffering with price rise , un equality of income , poverty . he going to sign the nuclear deal which is anticipated that our power crises will be solved on 2020 . my personal assesment to the deal is
1) the cost of nuclear power will 4 time more the current price of power which cant be afford by indian
2) american have passed a law that nuclear power will be signed only with american interest , if violated againt american intrest the law is not abide 3) we are surrendering with american which has become national threat to world 4) jawarhalal foregn policy which is core of indian foreign policy is violated 5) The pipe line from iran , which is promising the crude oil requrement of our nation is forgotten 6) india will have beg with american to job , money or any thing which india never had done in past 7) indias dream to be super power is going to be dream 8) indian culture and heritage will be compromised

The Congress should be wiped out from Indian map.They have been taking the people for a ride all 60 years with a gap of about 5 yrs inbetween.Let a dictator rise from the Indians and rule forr about 2 years at least.

present allready wiped,in all states, goa,delhi,& some north eastran states they rulling with support of local partys. this shame for one of the 50 yrs histroy party.
Priminister should seek vote of confidence in public. plz do not act for Americans. It is shocking that UPA ( ulta pulta alliance ) is seeking vote of confidence by making unethical means and a simple majority ( if arranges by congress) of 2-3 votes will decide future of this world's most popular democratic country ( so called) LEFT ARE right in this matter. Country safety can not be compromise at any cost. We should appreciate them.
If congress party feels that they are right they should call for general election and ask people to vote them for the DEAL.

Since 4yr cong & comunists partys are enjoy honeymoon,makeing cross together money,so now indian economey are downgrade so they want to go from rulling possitions opposicatin.
The separation is a good riddance for UPA and more importantly for the country. The UPA-Left marriage was never natural. Left parties are a big baggage this country carries. They thrive on blind opposition to America, appeasement of Muslims and on prevailing poverty and backwardness in the country. Their actions have mostly gone against the interests of the country. These people have already destroyed West Bengal and Kerala. This process was extended to whole of the country yet the responsubility was transferred to Congress. Had the same N-deal been with China, these people would have been in the front to support. UPA had somehow been absorbing the Left dictats in order to stay in power. UPA should now try undo damage done at the instance of Left during last 4 years that pushed the country as many years behind. Let the people's money be deployed prudently for growth and development while some really desrvingly relief measures can be continued.
After UPA came into power 4 yrs back from that India in a very dangerous situation. And it is because some one (Sonia) controlling the india prime minister (Manmohan) by a remote control. This is not as simple as it looks like. Because when a person is holding some post and if anything goes wrong, he is accountable for that. So that he always take all decision with post in a thought way because he is always has a fear if something goes wrong everyone will finger on him. But when a person is not on that seat and take decision then he/she has no fear because no-one is going to ask hem/her for anything worong happened. And this kind of situation put everything in a dangerous situation. So it is always better that the person who deserve for some post should only get that post otherwise nothing is going to haapen in right way and our prime minister simply does not deserve this prime minister job. He is a good person and economist but a very weak prime minister.

india is like EU. like my comments or not. A burecarate rules EU. SP we too have breacrate ruling india. Any natostict strong man from reginal will be counterproductive for us. Understand this basic fact.
NDTV seems to be one of the worst channels in India. Just now it's flashing MLAs nos of each party supporting instead of MPs. Is this the channel that wins The Best Channel Award in India? Unbelievable.

His mean is that NDTV showing wrongly. It shouls be MPs but NDTV is showing MLAs. Finally, MPs do not belong to any assembly. I think now it be clear to you.

Nothing to do with that my friend. The story was about the parties that are going to support UPA govt. Like TRS with 3 MLAs (instead of 3 MPs), PDP with 1 MLA (instead of 1 MP) etc etc. Did you get it now? Akshay Singh got it right. Regards
Inderjeet Singh, if you don't like this political party, it is your right to do so. All parties are not civilised and, least of all, the Congress party, although the oldest, has befallen to the jungle raj, where only the chiefdom passes within a family. Just get your facts right!
