The inflation and price rise since last 2 years in India, is not a news any more for many of us. We are in a way become used to of this. Everyday when I go to shop at least one thing has its price changed. The government for “Aam Aadmi” is not caring for it any more. The opposition has no voice as they keep fighting themselves over small issues. I do not know when this is going to end but this has affected all of us very badly, and it is high time that we should do something to protest.
Food inflation index calculated by government itself, in last one year has always above 15%. But the actual price rise is much higher than this. The price of milk itself has increased more than 33%, including today’s hike by Mother Dairy and Amul. And this is when people are already hit by the inflation. The government has nothing to say about it. Indraprasth Gas Limited has increased the price of CNG by Rs.5, but government instead of asking to reduce the hike is helping Auto/taxi drivers to increase fare accordingly.
What kind of governance this is? where voice of common man is going unheard. In-spite of inflation being an issue since so long and government talking everyday to do something about it, everything is getting costlier and expensive every other day.
The pulses went to Rs.120 per kg from Rs50 and now it is selling at around Rs.80. Now the government is saying that prices has come down by Rs.40. But why it is not seeing the increase by Rs. 30, i.e. more than 70% in just few months.
I usually oppose such kind of bands and strikes but this time I completely agree and support opposition parties and request them to take this protest a long way unless government does something visible. Increasing CRR (cash reserve ratio) and RR (reverse repo rate) is not a solution to this. I do not know who takes a loan to buy milk from Mother Dairy store.

Everyone is talking about the Bharat Bandh and its pros and cons but I am still waiting to hear a response from the central congress government. All of them are keeping mouth shut about the biggest problem with the common man of India. It seems they are least concerned about us. Then what for they are running the government??? To reduce workload on Sharad Pawar…. shame!!!!
