Common man is tired of rising prises.Govt is helpless as every one in the govt calling it a world phenomenon. What is to be done now. The only plausible answer seems to be consumers resistence.Buy less and eat less. Avoid luxury and resist temptation to buy even though offers are tempting. Avoid gold purchase and encourage joint purchase in wholesale people in the colony pooling resources for such purchases.Postpone all heavy purchases.Cut down atleast 20% of monthly purchases.Govt should encourage sale of all important and essential commodities like oil and pulses, rice,wheat products through cooperatives that will help in holding the price line. Even vegetables can be sold through govt run or cooperatives shops. Such drastic efforts will send strong signal to the market manipulators.Transportation of all essentials may be subsidised. No more increase in petroleum prices for atleast one year.All taxes local or otherwise on essentials may either be scraped or put on hold. Govt should seriously combat the spiralling prices on a day to day basis.Govt utterances blaming inflation to global trends is unfortunate as it speaks of its impotencyto fight it out.FM is responsible for this state ofaffairs. Cgane of FM and Commerce Miniser at the centre would have soothingeffect on the market.Either they must resign ontheir own or they must be sacked.This alone will restore peoples confidence.Will PM has the courage to do this.PM himself can offer resignation as he failed to curb prices.
