The Shivpuri bend on river Ganga

Prime Minister Manmohan Singh is definitely a soft spoken economist and understands
the country's economy more than most of the well-known economists and that is why
he understandably scrapped the outstanding loans against the poor farmers in one stroke.But
one fails to understand why this time he accepted the proposal to raise petrol,disesel and LPG costs severely affecting the household economy of the poor and the middle class.Was this done to bail out the bleeding oil companies as was being stated tiem and again in the light of the ever- increasing oil prices globally or because of a secret party plan to ensure a better deal from the oil companies for the party in coming parliamentry elections next year .As of now,the general public is obvioulsy agitated and is sheething in anger .But, it seems, in due course the short public memory will fade away and party will be able to muster its resources for coming poll battle
next year. And that's that. RP NAILWAL,JUNE 5,2008
