Rising
prices in India have always been the ‘run to’ issue for any political group.It
favors everyone except the government. This of course leaving aside the average
Indian who has to spend more.Now that it’s Food Prices which are going through
the roof, the usual round of chatter has begun. Opposition parties accusing the
incumbent government of lackluster action, ineffectiveness and the usual lingo
that anyone in India is used to especially when it’s a battle between political
parties. None of the rhetoric in any case means squat if prices do not come down.
We’ve been harping on rising prices for over a year now, I sincerely hope that
this is not the case a year later as well.
