The pressure on prices is and was not only because of demand but also because of supply-side, and to a greater extent. The decision taken by RBI not to reduce aggressively has once again put the ball back to the government’s court to hasten the reforms process and put it back on the burner. The government has proved itself, once more, a major road-block in the direction of growth and development, poverty- alleviation, mainly. The government has failed at two occasions. First, it could not ensure an efficient supply mechanism for food, it lost the crucial time to act, and it is only preparing ground so far. All the decisions are stuck for years. And, even in case of food grains which are more than full in government storage and sometimes are rotten there. And, secondly in FDI in retail an area in which the government failed to tell and convince people that how it can help the Indian-Economy. In my view it will help agriculture to become more profitable and would boost investment there. Our total economy would be benefited by higher incomes because demand would spurt. These both are not independent of each other and point towards the same goal price stability which the FM committed while Fiscal consolidation. The government needs to be more serious and quick if it has to address the issue of growth, so far it has only created propaganda…
