While the people of India are suffering from rising food and fuel prices, the high government bureaucrats were busy in celebrating the Indian growth story at the World Economic Forum. The Deputy Chairman of the Planning Commission commented that food inflation is occurring as the people are becoming more prosperous and consuming more.
Ministers are also suggesting that the solution to food inflation lie in allowing MNCs to open super markets in India. Are statements like this meant for AamAadmi?
Why should another country again rule us for our basic needs?
Few months ago tons of wheat got spoiled due to lack of storage and processing infrastructure. So instead of improving our system and planning, why is the government offering opportunities to western countries? Why can’t we focus on enhancing farm productivity and agricultural practices in our country – with our people and for our people?
