Price rise not to desired expectations by Puneet Rajhans

The Cabinet Meet on Thursday, which was the last meet of 2010, discussed among other things the prices of eggs, vegetables, milk, milk powder, soaps and other perishable and non perishable products. The meet was stormy as most of the Cabinet Members came garlanded with vegetables and carrying tins of milk and toilet paper.

How fierce was the storm and how the Govt Head negotiated is still not known. But what is known is that the members protested the rise of the prices not to their desired expectations as the quantum leap they were looking forward to was not adhered in letter and spirit. Finally the Cabinet Members dispersed with the belief that a course correction would set in to make the prices soar to their desired expectations. After all that is the only way through which the govt can secure a reprieve for itself as any telling rise in prices would open the doors for a debate and the one from which no opposition members can excruciatingly wait.

For the sake of Parliament to function let the prices assume new proportion. And the other decision the Cabinet took was howsoever unprecedented the price rise is, this won't hold true in the regions of Telangana still to be identified with the State of Andhra for the unprecedented nature of churning it is expected to witness in the coming seasons and months .
