"Aam Aadmi party"

Disclaimer: I can't bear any criticism from congress supporters. So Congress fans, you better stay away from my Blog.

Aam Aadmi (Ordinary man) in India cannot buy an "aam" ( "aam" in Hindi means "Mango") in the capital of India. Thanks to inflation

The political parties in India are waiting for an opportunity to gain political mileage. It started with the petrol price hike. The government cannot be blamed for the price hike as there is a vertical rise in global oil price. I'm only angry about the fact that the price hike is done after the elections. A cheap third rated political trick. The last revision took place in the month of September 05 & the prices are rising exponentially. If the government had planned a 2 stage price hike, it would have been effective.

The most comical melodrama followed soon. The "Congress" party (i.e. the party ruling the government) wanted a cut in price hike, so that "Aam Aadmiā€¯ is not affected. Only a bunch of morons would believe the fact that Sonia Gandhi was not consulted in the issue of petrol price hike. Luckily, Dr. Manmohan Singh stood by his decision (According to Indian press). At the end of this Murali Deora was the scape goat. This price hike would reduce the losses of our Navaratna oil companies. Sonia Gandhi, @ the end of this episode, is still the Aam Aadmi's leader.

The Story is not yet over. All the state congress leaders expressed their fawning nature by reducing state sales tax of petrol. If the state government had reduced the sales tax on the day of price hike, i would have saluted them. Unfortunately, the scenario was different. Sonia proclaimed that her party is an "Aam Aadmi" party & the sycophant leaders followed her steps to give the party an "Aam Aadmi" party image.

Now it's inflation time. The prices of vegetables, fruits & essential commodities are rising exponentially. If onions rocked the NDA government (1998), it's tomatoes turn to create doldrums to congress government (40 bucks per KG in NEW DELHI).

According to Finance ministry, there is a gap in supply & demand. It has come out with a proposal to change the export/import laws for certain goods. It's good temporary solution, but does not fit well in a long term scenario. (This is the first time i am agreeing with the left parties). Congress is keeping its fingers crossed with a hope that it's a seasonal inflation. UP elections is staring at the congress like HELL & Rai Bareli doesn't represent UP.

Who is the sufferer?? It's the Aam Aadmi.

At last, can an AAM Aadmi in INDIA buy & eat his AAM happily????????? We have to wait & watch.

Ashwin, I completely support u dude. About that oil price hike I support the Left. Oil prices in the international market might be soaring at 70$, IOC might be incurring losses, but it is the sole responsibility of the government to tacke it. If not, why ministries and IAS officers? The increase in oil price has nearly opened up the pandora's box as far as the Trading Markets are concerned. This might lead to many such not so tangible problems.. commodity markets might get a beating

Hi ashwin.. Came to ur blog thru some links.. Nice blog man.. By the way , this is just the beginning of the Petrol Price Hike that we are witnessing.. As we all know, presently the Government regulates the prices of Petroleum Products.. That is why, inspite of the steeply increasing prices in the world market, the price hike was kept under the wraps by the govt until the elections were over.. In due course, the petroleum companies would be given the authority to set the prices by themselves.. That is when the real volatility in the prices will come to fore.. For every $1 increase in the price of a barrel of petrol, the increase would be by 40 paise/litre in petrol and by 30p/litre in diesel.. That is when the Congress is going to test the Patience of the LEFT...

This is not just about the Congress and their sycophant leaders, but its the demogogues of this entire nation! Am afraid the increasing prices are just at its rudimentary stages.

I just mentioned the name of congress because it's calling itself the "Aam Aadmi" party.. Each & every party in India, is responsible for it.. In india, most of the powers are vested with the center. That's why i criticised the congress badly
