It is almost a year and half since the BJP government has taken over the reins of the state but there seems to be no let-up on price rise of essential commodities. One of the main planks that the BJP came to power or rather it was their agenda on their election manifesto that if they come to power in the state they would curb the rising costs of essential commodities. But nothing seems to have changed at the ground level infact prices have spiralled much higher compared to the Congress regime. Ironically BJP Mahilas who used to stage dharnas, protests at Municipality squares and sometimes even lay a siege at the Collectorates seems to have fallen silent. Their silence itself is deafening is it because they feel ashamed that their government also cannot commit to its promises of controlling the prices or is it because they have now realized that whether it is the BJP government or the Congress, the functioning of the politicians remains the same? And the primary function of the politicians is to get elected, scramble to form the government and then get set to win another election with a motto ? ?common man be damned?. ................................................................................................................... Dear Nisser, I like it that you like to expose hypocrisy. Continue in the same vein no matter who the party is. Regards Augusto
