It is very clear that Pawar & his ministry have been caught napping ! Pawar's claim that people from east & south have started consuming more of wheat, as a reason for current inflation, is a very lame excuse. His ministry should have start ed reading the trends and imported the required foodgrains much earlier to avoid this impasse. Why are the foodgrains numbers within India falling ? What has Pawar done, so far, to increase this growth on a YOY basis ? The country is already suffering because of the volatility in imported crude prices and I hope food grains imports will not be subject to the same volatility. Somehow, he has managed to bring in the "glorious uncertainties" of cricket into the food scenario and this does not augur well for India.
