20 lacs Ton i.e. 200 crore kg imported raw Sugar lying in the godowns/ cold storage at JNPT/ Kandala Port Trust for 8 weeks. The Private companies imported it @ Rs 18/kg. Due to such ilegal hoarding prices have double up. Govt did not took any steps to stop such profiteering The Union Cabinet now January 13 announced steps to import sugar, dal to release wheat & rice. What they were doing till now ? The famous Indian phrase of the common man Dal roti khayenge, Prabhu ke gun gayenge is becoming history. Dal is becoming a weekly/festival food for the poor people. We want action not promises. 78% of India s population have monthly income of Rs 5,000 to Rs 25,000. They want Do Time ka Khana

STORY OF SUGAR
ENOUGH STOCK-AVAILABILITY YET PRICES TOUCHING SKY

Story of Sugar is nothing but manipulation by the Sugar Samrats. Prices have gone up from Rs 22 to Rs 50/kg in just one year. A sugar exporting country is converted into importing country India produced 573 lac tons sugar during 2007-10. The country had opening stock of 105 lac tons Total availability of sugar for these 3 years was 678 lac tons Yearly consumption of sugar including consumption by confectionary and sweet manufacturing industry was 213 to 220 lac tons With annual consumption of sugar 220 lac tons, 146.8 lac tons production of 2008-09 + 105 lac tons opening stock, we had sugar surplus, i.e. opening stock of around 31 lac tons sugar in Diwali/October 2009. This is domestic sugar India exported 80 lac ton sugar @ Rs 12 to 14/kg during 2007 to 2009 & now we are importing 50 lac ton sugar @ Rs 38/kg Govt paid thousand crores subsidy of Rs 1.44/kg to these exporters Farmers got the same price of Rs 85/quintal for his sugarcane & consumer paying double rate

EDIBLE OIL

Till few years back, India was self-sufficient in the edible oil In the era of global economy, liberalization, India has become a major importer of edible oil, Soyabean Oil From the Table, it can be seen that Indian dependence on imported oil is increasing every year. In 2005-06 60% of our consumption was imported oil In the year 2008-09, it has gone up further Edible oil consumed in major cities is imported. In 2008-09, out of 85 lac tons consumed in these urban areas, 75 lac tons is imported one Is it national food security? In Congress raj, slowly and steadily Indian food security is being pledged to the foreign multinationals and Commodity Exchange players

Congress ne Kya Kiya

Farmer paid far less than the cost of production Customer looted paying 5 times the price paid to the farmer for wheat, chawal, sakkar Bumper crop and buffer stock but the Congress Govt. created artificial climate for shortage Support to the speculation and Commodity Exchange and big companies, multinationals dealing in these commodities wheat, rice, sugar Revenue, profit and share prices of these companies have trebled in the last one year Congress Govt. transferring many of the essential items in future trading
40

Congress ne Kya Kiya

Congress Govt. encouraging farm future trading/commodity exchange and transferring/shifting banned items also in the form future trading/forward trading In January 2010, Congress Govt. is planning for release of food banned commodities like Chana Dal, Potato, Soya, rubber Commodity Exchange has become the den for speculators, big companies and MNCs. 90 to 95% of the translations are without delivery, i.e. speculator Congress, for the benefit of big companies, MNCs, did not create buffer stock of sugar Govt. has adopted manipulative export-import policies for the essential food items like wheat, rice, sugar. In the same year, these items were exported and imported.

Congress ne dhoka diya

The Congress Govt. asked votes in the name of Aam Aadmi. How ever in the past 5 years, Congress has betrayed the Common Man. Prices have gone up every where. Aam Aadmi is crushed. Congress ke Haath ki Safai maar gayi, sub kuch loot liya aur Mahangai Maar Gayi.
