Prices rise while nutrition levels decline

When there was no hesitation at all to increase the fuel prices even before Iran sanctions started to bite off, and the resultant increase in transportation costs due to threats by private bus operators and prices of bread and related products going up ; wonder where the so called CAA was. The milk prices would definitely go up and the CAA is just playing a cat and mouse game. The Prime Minister will say "eat rice and not bread" but then it is easier said than done in families where both parents go to work. The trend of governing by this government seems to be people should just grin and bear whatever price increases imposed on them; and sing "patriotic songs" in empty stomachs, but never protest because everything is done under the Holy Book called Chinthanaya which should be the only reading matter for the poor people.
