Was there any study conducted in this matter? Whether any steps are taken to get
the rates to be nearer to the world market? Since last six years the prices of
essential commodities are doubled or gone three time when compared to 2004.
Items 2004 2010 March
Wheat Rs.9 Rs.18 to 24
Rice Rs.10 Rs.24 to 28
Sugar Rs.14 Rs.37/-
Groundnut Oil Rs.40 Rs.100/-
Mung Oil Rs.24 Rs.79 to 90
Milk Rs.14 Rs.32/-
Kerosene/Litre Rs.18 Rs.35/-
This price hike is due to the bad economic policies of UPA Government
and the saying of UPA that “Congress ka hath Aam Admi ke sath” is totally
reversed.
The recent hike in price of petroleum products have played an important
role in price rise. The produce the farmer, the seller the transporter are forced to
go beyond the limits and rise of price of kerosene and gas has impacted the
livelihood of poor and middle class people heavily and made their lives miserable.
The UPA Government is solely responsible for this. The promises given to the
people of country have been totally ignored by the ruling UPA after they being
placed in power. It is the betrayal for the people of country.
Hence, I urge the Prime Minister and Petroleum Minister to cut down the
price of petroleum products and I urge the Government to bring all the essential
commodities under PDS system and take necessary economical step to curb price
rise immediately.
