Will the rise in Onion prices going to prove fatal for Government in next election?

By the end of December 2010, the onion prices all over India have touched to Rs 80 ($2 approx.) per Kg which has taken its toll on the common man of India.

The Congress with all its bad policies and corrupt ruling, is taking India 50 years back. Despite of the great hard work and efforts done by the common citizen of India to see his/her country as a developed nation, its political regime is leaving no stone unturned to make the country a living hell. A series of scams have hit the front page of Indian dailies in previous few months. All these are credited to bad governance of congress, be it Common Wealth Games or 2G scam or Mumbai's infamous Adarsh Flat scam. And now it seems another scam is boiling behind these price rise which is waiting to get explode. 

Price of Onions which usually hovers around Rs 15-20 per Kg has touched Rs 80-85 per Kg in metros and 2-tier cities like Delhi, Mumbai, Ahmadabad, Bangalore, Ludhiana and Lucknow. Onion is seen as the main ingredient of Indian food through India's length and breadth, from Kashmir(north) to Kanya-Kumari(south) or Gujarat(West) to Guwahati(east). With more than 25% of India's population under poverty line and earning less than Rs 20 a day, one wonders how they will survive this price rise. This price rise has not only affected the poor but even the great Indian middle class has started planning the cuttings in their budget to adjust this price rise. This price rise is hitting the wallet of the common man seriously and they seem to have started cursing the day they voted congress to power.
What is the use of the government which is immersed neck deep in scandals and cannot provide even the basics of life to its citizens. Few days back, we saw a price rise in petrol and diesel. The petrol price has risen by Rs 2.96 per liter, which is around 7% rise in its price. Tomatoes are seen next in line of price rise. If that happened, it will be going to break the backbone of the common man who is already struggling to make his both ends meet. Only God can save India from this bad governance of Congress.

Wake up! Manmohan ji and do something or we won't be seeing you as The Prime Minister of India after next election. With such records, Congress is deemed to be booted out in next general election.
