Onion-tears!

And an idea crept in in a very subtle manner that this scarcity of onions in India is not natural but a factitious one. Why there is a huge marginal difference in the wholesale market and the retail market? 

The whole India reels under the artificial scarcity of onions—which possesses the guts of toppling governments. And the persons(the ministers and the bureaucrats) endowed with the responsibilities  of curbing the indulgence in hoarding or like-activities-- are nowhere in the scene. They all have gone fishing !. For,the Namo fish I think. For, it has the delicacy to send the fanciful incumbents into delirium—it seems. All the mercenaries of the government are busy bullying, and thwarting, and ignoring, and toadying, and goading only one effect –the Namo effect.  And this regime condescends boastfully that this government is by, for and to poor—but not pro-poor.  It is crystal clear now that this government having had the food bill passed, only  wishes to increase the number of impoverish people in India, to move ahead miles, and miles and miles in governing like it has so far had, from a decade or so, for years and years to come. 

Sixty years was enough to foresee the sufferings of the poor, but the dreaded psychological fear of losing, has engineered and induced them to act in a such a quick manner that it managed it to be passed from both the houses in a amazing haste(read deadline of the current government). And now they are doing somersault in their own quagmire with the misconception that this will give them the edge and turn out to be a game changer. Alas! The great almighty may give them the power to foresee the losses they are at, in neglecting the common concern of common people. 

Time is fading fast  for you Mr. Prime minister and your cabinet,--and fading fast is the solvency of the government-- but there is still some time left to address the day-to-day concern of the common man. Please, please,  please  apply all your acumen and stoutness in curbing the inflation and hoarding to save your face from being tormented at the hustings by degrees, you are thinking of, before you are forced to declare the Onions –a fruit, by an ordinance. And you have taken one such step recently, to stop the splurge of the government officials and the ministers. But, let me take the freedom of asking you-- whether it is diffidence or despondency or indifference that you have had a deaf ear to solve or try to solve these worries of the common man ? Anyway one thing is clear that you are working against reason, against promise, against peace, against hope, against happiness, against all discouragement that should, could and would  be, because it is against your innate qualities and I'm dead sure that the hoarding is not being done under the aegis of any members of your exquisite cabinet.
