Enough false promises...Mr. P.M.

A poor and famished man, dying of starvation, cannot distinguish between the Reserved Stock of Food and / or the subsidized food grains open market... All he wants, is a mouthful to eat..And fill his tummy to survive.
Maharashtra alone has approximately 500000 children suffering from malnutrition, says the latest survey. A simple math can give us a figure of total number of children suffering from malnutrition. and add their parents to that figure and the dire food situation of India will come to light.
But,
Our Hon. P.M. does not wish to bring out the Reserve Stock at the moment to bring down the prices of essential food grains. He says that the stocks should be maintained till the drought situation passes. The logic sounds right.
But there are people dying of hunger. Worst still, people are going half hungry and are at back breaking work all around. Their health is fast deteriorating. And PM waits for the drought situation to pass.
Petroleum prices are going to sky rocket soon. That will further make the basic dietary needs costlier. And if the drought situation persists for an additional year than? How many will have to die before PM decides to fulfill his promise to subsidize the grains. Rich and even middle class do feel the pinch of inflation, especially cost rise in food grains, but they somehow survive. Poor have no way to survive.
By not giving timely subsidies our honorable PM sends the message that those who can manage to buy costly grains should eat and the rest should strive for spiritual enlightenment. After all ours is a spiritual country.
A government that is willing to actually do something for the masses has many ways to do it. When the recession was at the peak and people losing their jobs as well as hopes, Gujarat Chief Minister Shri Modi decided to start all the future Infrastructure projects immediately. This is the reason that Gujarat felt the least amount of burden of the recession. Only the diamond market, which is 100% exports oriented was severely hurt in Gujarat.
There are ample of measures the Central Govt. can take to curtail further price rise and to provide basic necessity to deprived class. In the All C.M. MEET IN Delhi, day before yesterday, the non UPA C.M.’s were pro-active in their suggestions. Price control is not a new thing. World over this device is used.
Uttarakhand ‘S Hon C.M. Shri Ramesh Pokhriyal reacted that the price rise was an artificial one. Kerala’s Hon. C.M. Shri VS Achyutandanan and West Bengal’s Hon. C.M. Shri Budhdeb Bhattacharya echoed the same sentiments...
As suggested by the Hon. C.M. of Chattisgarh, a ban on Forward Trading of all food items is invaluable.
The Hon. C.M. of Orissa suggested that the Allocation for the Central Public Distribution System [PDS] should be increased.
but our experience with Congress government in the past has been that there is no genuine willingness to do anything for the poor. Except shouting slogans and employing publicity gimmicks such as brief train traveling by their young prodigy.
