Massive quantities of food grains are
deliberately allowed to rot in Government godowns and to be eaten by rats,
weevils and cockroaches, if they cannot be smuggled out and sold in the black
market to hotels, bakeries, flour mills and also distilleries for the
manufacture of alcohol. The Supreme Court's direction to the Government of India
to distribute surplus food grains to the poor and lower middle class people has
been deliberately ignored by the roly-poly overfed fellow called Sharad Pawar,
who has been pretending not to understand the English language used by the
Supreme Court in its order.
Why are food grains allowed to rot in open
godowns instead of releasing them in the market for the poor and middle class
people to buy at reasonable prices? The deliberate wastage of food grains, and
the creation of artificial shortages, are meant for causing massive increases in
the prices of food grains for the benefit of corrupt politicians,
bureaucrats, middlemen and traders.
Our rotten leaders are bent on depriving the poor Indians of even adequate food
grains of proper quality through the Public Distribution System or what we also
call as the Ration Shops. The provision of insufficient food grains, which are
also of extremely bad quality, are making the poor Indians sick and to
die young.
