1.the GDP growth rate registered during BJP six years was on an average 5.8 per cent and not “over 6 per cent” as claimed by the BJP. it is a well-known fact that after the disastrous fiscal year 2002-03 the then Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee decided to make a change in the Finance Ministry. He brought in Jaswant Singh to replace Yashwant Sinha.
2.The NDA regime raised the price of petrol over six years by Rs. 11 a litre even though, comparatively, the prices of international crude were low, ranging from $12 to 34 a barrel as against $134 now. Nobody at that time behaved and talked as if “economic terrorism” had been unleashed on the country
3.The NDA increased the price of kerosene used by the poor from 2.52 a litre in 1998 to over Rs. 9 a litre in 2003, an increase of over 350 per cent! The UPA has almost completely spared this section of consumers, raising the price by only 8 paise during the last four years.
4.Again the NDA raised the price of a cooking gas cylinder by Rs. 110 over its six-year regime. And, yet, it wants the UPA to quit office for raising the price by Rs. 83 over four years, including the recent hike of Rs. 50. Prices are hurting, but this high decibel debate needs to take place in the realm of facts

YOu conviniently chose not to use inflation data or just a mistake? If UPA was so muc concerned why did not they reduced the prices immediately after coming to power? The exponential price rise of crude happened since 2003. And can you show us the facts where crude prices were 12 to 34 $ per barrel duing NDA rule?

friend.. i dont understand inflation.. is it "too much money chasing few goods?".. if so.. what is the problem in it?? people have money.. and they demand products & services using that money.. once more demand is there.. more production takes place... so-it is a circle.. between "boom and doom".. this inflation can be curtailed right?? respond somebody good in economics please..

And our IT market started making big money , lots of spending in the last 3 yrs and hence more GDP now .Dont compare those things 5 yrs back .5 yrs back , the place i live now was a dry area ...Idiotic points u have got ..
Then what about this 1. Caste based reservation in IITs and IIMs , what a great way of ruling after 60 yrs of independence 2. Reservation of 5% for Muslims in Congress led AP 3. 60000 crore farm waiver (In the Green belt of AndhraPradesh , i myself know hundreds of farmers who have more than 20lakh property and had good crop , but enjoyed this farm waiver ) .Have this money been used on controlling inflation i would have felt happier
4. Its been 37 days , protests are going on in Jammu and kashmir ..If the govt would have reacted early , things would not have gone out of hand ..Yesterday the idoitic PM is asking for peace ..what is he doing for the last one month ..
