Why does the govt. not realize that by publishing such false data, it is rubbing salt on our wounds?
These Macro-Statistics and figures have no meaning whatsoever when the AAM AADMI is reeling under unrelenting prices of daily needs like vegetables, pulses, edible oil, etc.We would like to know what the so called Governemnt of the AAM AADMI, FOR THE AAM AADMI is doing to ease and overcome his miseries. There appears to be a total drift with the All Powerful Agriculture Minister, Mr. Sharad Pawar too busy with politicking/Power Games and Government formation in his support state Viz. MAHARASHTRA. He probably does not have time for the commom man's sufferings.The Government should publish inflation figures for daily needs of the AAM AADMI!!!!!The truth will really be out then!!!!!
