Food prices continue to rise. What is being done? more  
Sugar was rs 31 one month ago now sold at rs 39 in supermarkets?similarly vegetables are controlled by syndicates even in rainy season it is ruling betweeen rs 40 to 80 why. Onion and potato’s and green chillies are at 25-30-80 respectively . There is no GST and it is building a huge margin in black to the sellers. more  
Most of the vegetables are available at Rs 60/- and above this per kg in any of the markets in Delhi. more  
When a produce to actually sold at eg. Rs.10/- then transportation coat + couple of tax's to pay + 3rd party to pay, where the actual cost goes to Rs.50/60/- . if the govt. Cut off so many tax's to pay, cost of food Price could go down where we ordinary people could afford. My question is, why does govt. Take so many taxes for any kind of work ? Keep a one way tax, instead of so many taxes to pay to just reach the destination ? more  
Very Best Examples are Price Hike in Pulses,Onion and now Tomato why because Either Traders are Exporting Large Amount of these Food Items out side India like Arab and African Countries or they are Provoking Indian Politicians. more  
Once the price goes up that will not come down unless center and state join hands together to fight it center want revenue for their expenses and state wants for its own political benefits. Unless we start questioning them cthese prices will not be controlled Can some one tell us how to do it more
