24 QUESTIONS WE MUST ASK UPA GOVERNMENT

Do you care for the steep hike in numbers of BPL families? Why do you pass on the buck to State Governments when you frame policies? Who has cut down on the allocations of foodgrains in the rationing system up to 73 per cent, weakening the public distribution system and thus creating more dependence on the market?

JAAGO AAM AADMI...

(Minimum Support Price Vs Minimum Retail Price) While writing this article, I was reading through a news item published on VJAS (Vidarbha Jan Andolan Samiti) that 5 farmers have committed suicide in last 48 hours which is sad news for all of us .The collective Indian society has failed our Farmer brothers by not taking this Government to task.  These suicides are happening despite of 3000 Crore package from Prime Minister announced during June 2006 for resolving their issues on priority basis so that the prevailing acute distress can be minimized and farmers' suicides can be controlled. This was followed by the ELECTION SPECIAL PACKAGE OF RS 60000 CRORES WRITE OFF! Yet the suicides continue... Keeping in view the interests of the farmers, state and central Government's announces Minimum Support Prices (MSP) for several major crops from time to time.  Farmers are free to sell in the open market or to the Government at the MSP. The price support policy of the Govt. is directed at providing to insurance to farmers against any sharp fall in farm prices. The minimum price is fixed beyond which the market price cannot fall. Unfortunately still our farmers are not getting fair price for their crops.  Many times we see news items such as farmers throwing their crop on streets as they can?t even retrieve transportation cost. Why is so? Government employees get their salaries revised from time to time by means of pay commissions so are why can't there be a commission or authority to maintain healthy difference between MSP and Retail price.   Below is a table of MSP and MRP for few crops during 2009 which clearly indicates the failure of the price intervention mechanism operated through MSP and thus failed to protect the farmers with the policy instrument.   Table: Comparison of MSP against Retail Price (Quantity in Quintals)   Product MSP for 2009-10 Market Price % Difference between MSP & MRP Rice Rs.980/- 2800-* /- 190% Tur Daal Rs.2,300/- 9400/- 409% Moong Rs.2,760/- 11000/- 399% Wheat Rs.1,080/- 1800-2800/- 213% (Avg of MRP shown considered) Sugar Cane* Rs.1,077/MT Sugar-44000/MT -** See comment in note below Jowar Rs.860/- 2900/- 337% Bajra Rs.840/- 2300/- 274% * One Quintal of Paddy yields 65KG of Rice ** Note: Sugar prices are/MT Approx 5 tonnes (5000kg) Sugarcane is needed for 1 tonne (1000 kg) of sugar production.   The bottom-line is that Farmers are not getting fair price for their products despite of price rise its middle men/multinationals that are making money.  For instance 16 million tonnes of Sugar was exported from India at the standard price of Rs.18 and above per KG to allow sugar companies make windfall profits and now we have to import the same from Brazil at the price of Rs.30, this additional price is directly passed onto the consumer.   Similarly, Wheat was available in Punjab at Rs.850/Quintal but UPA Government imported Wheat from Australia at Rs.1,080/Quintal, the same price if had been paid to our farmers from Punjab they would have been more than happy.    Overall Government has failed in ensuring food security for its citizens despite being headed by a renowned economist. The government cares more for The Khan than for our Khana! Speculation & Manipulation at Commodity Exchange Out of 14 lakh  ton turnover actual delivery was  only  1,400 tonnes. Hence  99.99% of turnover was speculative trading during May to Dec 2009. It's time we opened our eyes and see the Shylockian machinations of the UPA government. They will bleed us for 4 years and then give sops in 2014 which is the election year, hoping that the voters forget the past 4 years like we had done this time!

EK KAAM DESH KE NAAM

School girls who were waiting for their carpool car to arrive, in Kolkata were being teased by 3 goons who asked them to sit with them on their bike. As the car came, the goons followed. The girls told the driver Vinod Jaiswara. The latter then slammed the brakes and the speeding bike rammed into the car's rear. He then warned the youths to behave themselves and not to disturb the girls, triggering a spat. The goons let the car leave, but once it reached Garden Reach Road, Sonu pulled out a single-shooter and fired at Vinod. Despite the bullet wound in his chest, he drove the girls to safety. Sonu and Mohammad Shamim confessed before police, Sonu, a resident of Ayubnagar, has been involved in hooliganism earlier. The Police commissioner announced Vinod has been offered a job as a Home Guard at a felicitation programme. But for the brave young man; the most cherished present was a small Kali idol. "This is the best prize", he smiled
