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.

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%.
