What kind of stupid argument is this? Food crisis is because of population. Go and read some more. I am also neither a Leftie nor a congress but a proud indian. The main reason for the food crisis is because all the western and some south american countries started using the corn and other items traditionally used for food to make 'green fuel' and this is affecting the global stocks. In Every measurable economic parameter India is growing inspite of the stupid left in the government. What Chidambaram said is absolutely correct Some Reds do not want india to grow over china and they are making everything within thier power (with the help of chinese money)to take down this government.
