Manmohan singh,the PM is now worried about the silent killer inflation.He is quite right in saying that high inflation shall derail the growth prospects in the coming years.All these four years the the congress was only in deep slumber and never active enough to foresee the problems which they may have to encounter.Instead they have been saying that they are proactive government.This party right from independence always believed in keeping the poor as poor only and never made sincere attempts to get them or lift them from poverty.Instead it believes in divide and rule policy.THe PM,FM, Sonia gandhi,Rahul gandhi,Kamalnath and not forgetting that BCCI minister..oh Iam sorry the agriculture minister Sharad pawar should form a committee and the committee should meet and come out with practical plans to get the nation out of this mess.The committee should draw plans of supplying some essential items thru the PDS to all poor and the middle class (white &pink ration card holders) at the following prices
