1. SCAM OF FOOD ARTICLES INFLATION
Congress ka Haath - Mahangai ke Saath
BHARATIYA JANATA PARTY

2. CONGRESS means INFLATION CONGRESS yane MEHANGAI
Congress & Mehangai are becoming synonymous. Though Congress-Govt. is claiming 8 to 10% growth the Aam Aadmi is asking a simple question “growth for whom? The poor are becoming poorer. They have remained outside the preview of growth.
Since November 2009 there has been an inflation of 20% in Food Articles. Prices of 17 essential commodities mainly wheat, rice, sugar, dal have doubled in the past few months. Sugar is scoring half century, i.e. almost Rs.50 per kg. Tur Dal has scored a century, i.e. Rs.100 per kg
2008 we had double digit inflation than –1% i.e. negative inflation i.e. deflation in August Now in December 2009 inflation once again gone up to 7.81%. The country is marching toward double digit inflation in march 2010
90% of Population who are Aam Aadmi- Middle Class, Poor , Worker & whose 50 to 80% monthly budget spent on Food Articles

20 lacs Ton i.e. 200 crore kg imported raw Sugar lying in the godowns/ cold storage at JNPT/ Kandala Port Trust for 8 weeks. The Private companies imported Rs 18/kg. Due to such ilegal hoarding prices have double up. Govt did not took any steps to stop such profiteering
The Union Cabinet now January 13 announced steps to import sugar, dal to release wheat & rice. What they were doing till now ?
The famous Indian phrase of the common man “Dal roti khayenge, Prabhu ke gun gayenge” is becoming history. Dal is becoming a weekly/festival food for the poor people.
We want action not promises. 78% of India’s population have monthly income of Rs 5,000 to Rs 25,000. They want
Do Time ka Khana

6. CONGRESS MEANS INFLATION CONGRESS YANE’ MAHANGAI (contd)
In 2009 we had a record production of 991 lac ton Rice, 805 lac ton wheat & 2006/07 & 2007/08 combine 7036 lac ton Sugarcane and 546 lac ton Sugar. The production far exceeded consumption.
In reply to Parliament Question No.4162 of on rising prices, the Minister stated “Prices of wheat in the domestic market increased by 22.6% over the year. In last year, prices of edible oil/RBD palmolein increased by 22%. Domestic prices of all pulses increased by 131%” added: “We are watching the situation”
Who are the beneficiaries? Multinationals, Corporates, Speculators & Commodity Exchanges.
BJP wants Prime Minister to deliver & Mr. Sharad Pawar to act. Congress Govt has to take care of the Aam Aadmi.
BJP wants prices of the essential commodities to be brought down. Common Man wants Daal Roti.

time in a day. Expenses on the children’s education has been curtailed.

10. Chawal Rice me Gadbad Price increase from Rs. 10/kg in 2004 to Rs
Chawal Rice me Gadbad Price increase from Rs.10/kg in to Rs.48/kg in 2010
Rice and wheat are the two major food grains consumed in India. Dal Rice and Dal Roti are the food of more than 90% people

Farmers have been paid Rs.8.50 to Rs.10/kg but the sale price in the market is Rs.48/kg
Disastrous export-import schemes of Rice – 100 lakh tons of Rice exported at Rs.18 to 20. Indian farmers paid Rs.8.50 to Rs.10. Indian customer is paying Rs.48/kg while export is done at Rs.18 to 20
It is a scam – looting of common man/customer and the small farmer/producer by MNCs, big companies. Government’s economic policies beneficial to these companies resulted in huge profit to the commodity companies. Share prices of KRB Ltd. Increased by 300% in 9 months between April 2009 and January 2010

11. GEHU GHOTALA Price of wheat increased by 300% in Congress raj

India had bumper crop of 2348 lac tons of wheast for the last 3 years, i.e. 2007, 2008, Government had bumper buffer stock overflowing at FCI godowns. No scarcity or import. Then also the price of wheast has doubled
Gehu Ghotala – farmer loser, consumer looted, multinationals are minting hundreds of crores of rupees

12. KADVI SHAKKAR – SUGAR SCAM
Sugar import-export scheme – 48 lac tons exported in at Rs per kg. Govt. of India gave Rs.1.44/kg subsidy to the exporter. Now it is going to import at Rs.42/kg
India produced 573 lac tons during 2007, 2008, Availability of Sugar was more than the consumption
Sugar growers/farmers got the same price of Rs.85 to Rs.100/quintal but the consumer has to pay Rs.50 per kg
Beneficiaries are multinationals, big sugar companies. Revenue/profit, share prices of these companies have increased by 300% in the last one year

13. KADVI SHAKKAR – SUGAR SCAM Cost of Sugar Production
For 1000 kgs crushing of sugar cane, the farmer was paid Rs.1,000 to Rs.1,100 in
1000 kilograms of sugar cane result in sugar and other by-products
kgs Sugar
kgs Molassis
kgs Bagasse
litres Alcohol
-- Ethanol, power generation and other products
The actual cost of sugar, after calculating the sale of by-products, comes to Rs.10 per kg
Farmer actually gets Rs.10 per kg and the customer is paying Rs.50 per kg

14. DAL ME KALA Congress ka ghotala
Common man in India eats Dal and Roti. Price of Dal has increased by 200 to 400% during the Congress raj

Price of Edible Oil was Rs.40 per kg during the BJP-Atalji’s Govt. in 2004
Price of “Mitha Tel” – Edible Oil has gone to Rs.100 per kg in January 2010
India has become dependent on imported Edible Oil now
In , India consumed 160 lakh tons of which 75 lakh tons was imported oil
Is it food security?
Almost 50% dependence on imported Edible Oil by our ‘Krushi Pradhan Desh’
SHAME.

Atalji govt has to face Gujarat earth quake, Orissa Flood, Kargil War but than also Food Prices were controlled
Congress Regime has no drought, flood, war, and yet food prices double/tripple . All are suffering Kissan to Common Consumer.
Than why this Mahangai ? Because it is Congress Raj

31. STORY OF SUGAR ENOUGH STOCK-AVAILABILITY – YET PRICES TOUCHING SKY
Story of Sugar is nothing but manipulation by the Sugar Samrats.
Prices have gone up from Rs 22 to Rs 50/kg in just one year. A sugar exporting country is converted into importing country

Yearly consumption of sugar including consumption by confectionary and sweet manufacturing industry was 213 to 220 lac tons

Farmer faced disaster & got uprooted in sugar cane price in last four years
Farmers got minimum price for their crop
Consumers looted in broad day light
Companies & MNCs minted Money

39. EDIBLE OIL
Till few years back, India was self-sufficient in the edible oil
In the era of global economy, liberalization, India has become a major importer of edible oil, Soyabean Oil
From the Table, it can be seen that Indian dependence on imported oil is increasing every year.
In % of our consumption was imported oil
In the year , it has gone up further
Edible oil consumed in major cities is imported.
In , out of 85 lac tons consumed in these urban areas, 75 lac tons is imported one
Is it national food security?
In Congress raj, slowly and steadily Indian food security is being pledged to the foreign multinationals and Commodity Exchange players

40. Congress ne Kya Kiya Farmer paid far less than the cost of production
Customer looted – paying 5 times the price paid to the farmer for wheat, chawal, sakkar
Bumper crop and buffer stock but the Congress Govt. created artificial climate for shortage
Support to the speculation and Commodity Exchange and big companies, multinationals dealing in these commodities – wheat, rice, sugar
Revenue, profit and share prices of these companies have trebled in the last one year
Congress Govt. transferring many of the essential items in future trading

41. Congress ne Kya Kiya
Congress Govt. encouraging farm future trading/commodity exchange and transferring/shifting banned items also in the form future trading/forward trading
In January 2010, Congress Govt. is planning for release of food banned commodities like Chana Dal, Potato, Soya, rubber
Commodity Exchange has become the den for speculators, big companies and MNCs. 90 to 95% of the translations are without delivery, i.e. speculator
Congress, for the benefit of big companies, MNCs, did not create buffer stock of sugar
Govt. has adopted manipulative export-import policies for the essential food items like wheat, rice, sugar. In the same year, these items were exported and imported.

42. Congress ne dhoka diya
The Congress Govt. asked votes in the name of Aam Aadmi.
How ever in the past 5 years, Congress has betrayed the Common Man.
Prices have gone up every where.
Aam Aadmi is crushed.
Congress ke Haath ki Safai maar gayi, sub kuch loot liya aur Mahangai Maar Gayi.
