Two years of Narendra Modi-headed BJP Sarkar has left more deficits on the communal front with beef controversy, temple entry row and the Jat agitation in Haryana for job reservation. All these agitations and protests have sapped more energy and resources in the Hindi belt of the country especially in the northern part of India. In the backdrop of all these violence and upheavals the slogan Sabka Saath Sabka Vikas looks a misnomer. Most of the social experiments carried out to change the communal canvas of the country has not paid good returns but has widened the distrust more. Communal frenzy has not died down but has flared out with violence becoming the rule of the day. Will the BJP leaders own what happened over the beef controversy or what inflamed Haryana? No they will not as most of the BJP leaders do not want to lose their vote bank. And let us look at the price front. Government itself has announced that pulses prices would not be allowed to go beyond Rs 120 per kg. What was the need for such a statement? A year ago prices of pulses hovered between Rs 50 to Rs 70 per kg today they have crossed the Rs 100 mark with middle men making the profits and hoarding. Is it not crime against the nation being committed by the party and its dealers? But ask BJP leaders they would not agree to any misdeed but blame market forces. Ask them who are these market forces they have no answer but man on the street knows it is nobody but the trader who funded the party’s 2014 elections. It was during BJP’s first rule under Atal Behari Vajpayee for the first time housewives favourite kitchen ingredient onion which was selling before the Govt came in power at Rs 5 per kg crossed the barriers of Rs 25 per kg and till date the price has not returned to its old level despite having bumper crop and farmers dumping it in Maharashtra. This explains the trader-politico nexus to keep the prices going upwards. Today price front looks for traders and not for common man, this is Sabka Saath Sabka Vikas.
