If I become Minister, What will be my strategy to stop price rise?
I will Increase production at farm level, enforce efficient distribution system, ensure safe keeping of buffer stock, tightening of measures against hoarders, blackmarketeers and profiteers, put restriction on traders who create artificial crisis monitoring market trend of prices every day through public relation officers posted in each district, and if possible fix prices where prices are going up and up without any reasoning, stop future trading in commodities and completely ban all speculative activities. I cannot allow exploitation of poor in the name of reformation and privatization or liberalization. I believe excess of freedom is also harmful for any nation and necessary regulation of activities is in the health of the economy and social peace. I will ensure that all officers from top to bottom are vigilant on price movement because it is prices of essential commodities which can make or mar the career of any person.
Last but not the least I will try to stop all unwarranted talks and promises on prices control without making it practically possible. I believe in doing first and informing later and I hate politicians who talk much but do nothing. I hate media who make so much hue and cries, fire Ministers, show useless fierce interviews with politicians but do nothing to expose the real culprits behind unabated and sky rocketing price ruse. Individual shout in street corner meetings or on road and media cries on TV channels but government keeps eyes and ears closed and enjoy to the maximum possible extent.
Is it true that for every selfish leader there is a dedicated leader?
Yes in India it is an open secret and common in all offices and in all departments. All bosses and all top leaders at all levels have a dedicated leader called as Chamcha in common language. Similarly all political heavy weights have dedicated team of political workers behind him and it is only such yes-men who can move ahead in their career .One who is actual worker, performer, real patriot, devotee of God and lover of the country cannot survive and cannot imagine prospering. This is the main reason behind all corrupt activities and all crimes taking place in the country. This is the reason that criminals are moving free without fear of punishment and innocent person are made victim, facing frustration and depression in their life.
Should anyone demand resignation from Mr. Sharad Pawar for current price rise?
I cannot ask for resignation and neither can I suggest this. If the minister is ineffective he should be sacked and his position as MP should also be dismissed. Fresh election should be there. It will be ridiculous if Sharad Pawar resigns as Agriculture Minister and UPA makes him defense minister. Undoubtedly he will spoil Defense ministry.
When Lalu was charge sheeted by CBI, he resigned from CM post of Bihar. But later he became Railway Minister at Center. This is not the solution.
Shiv Raj Patil was inefficient and if he is made governor of a state what will be the fate of that state. Similarly it is possible that Mr. Pawar is offered the post of President by UPA. Question is therefore how to punish an erring Minister in such a way that none of the minister dare to be lazy and ineffective. A simple officer cannot survive in any office if he is not performing well, how a minister in our country is allowed to move up and up even if he does not perform. But it is unfortunate that the post of Minister as also all top posts in government departments have become a tradable commodity in Indian politics.
