It is a common phenomenon that prices of all commodities show upward trend post elections. The haste with which unemployed are further burdened is bereft of any reason, except that contributors to election process can now take their pound of flesh. The steep rise in onions, tomatoes, beans and all other vegetables of daily use, voters are forced to bear the brunt of escalating prices.The statistics rattled out on GDP have no relation to per capita income and India lies at the bottom of this ladder amongst neighbouring nations. There is no respite and relief from heat waves adding to woes of water scarcity in the rainy season. Our legislators have no time to listen and are busy feathering their own nests till the next elections . Our right to vote has no corresponding duty post elections and we have to fend for ourselves . It is noticed that all commodities across board have risen by Rs20 to Rs 35 plus immediately. It is the govt's post-election gift to voters.
