Why have the Chickens stopped mating

Dear Minister, in the first place control the price of the basic items like Rice, Dhall, Onions, Potatoes, Garlic etc. Do you know that Onions are sold between Rupees 170/- and 200/-. I suppose you have set a guiness record by selling onion at this price. True, due to bad weather there is a shortage but yet the government can give some kind of relief to the common man at this festive season.

I think this move benefits you more than the public, Mr. Minister!

After Mr. Lalith no one is meet the requirement of trade minister.

Stop complaining! He is a Minister because he crossed over, and not because he knows anything about his trade. He get it right only about 1%.
