ModiAlert: By pinpointing hoarding the reason for price rise, government squarely takes the blame on

itself.
Hoarding is purely a governance factor, not a calamity. The finance minister while repeating the old
adage should know that he along with his colleagues now presides over this national breakdown. A
government if by its administrative and financial might cant lay the detectable malefactors waste, it has
no business to be in power. I need not to tell you, sir.
The putrid administrative machinery cant turn functional overnight, but a sensible government can
choose the economics of playing a gigantic hoarder to send these dubious traders home without their
shirts. It would just need some market intelligence, a small corpus, and an honest resolve to end this
seasonal scourge. But no UPA or NDA or any other abbreviated form of government we can think of now
has the moral authority to boot out these iniquitous players. The reason is these law breakers, like
always, have installed their friends and well-wishers around you, and some of them are now sitting with
you in the emergency meetings called to discuss the remedial measures. And you have to listen to them,
sir! We saw you rubbing shoulders with them before this prime ministerial protocol came in
