Every day the food bill is multiplied and grocery simply scares us.

While a fraud named trickling economy kills us with slow poison and we caught asleep.

We should revisit  Indian history of famine. The corporate government of India has introduced food security bill in the parliament having killed the public distribution system.

The ministry of agriculture has been merged in IPL.MIC agriculture playing Nero and least concerned with farmers` suicides or DUSHKAL in Maharashtra.

Now Sharad Pawar,the MIC dares to teach Rahul  Gandhi a lesion just disowning the food crisis caused by the IPL game of export Import played by himself.

DMIC,Amritsar Kolkata industrial corridor would create scores of mega cities and mega sez zones killing agrarian India.Second phase of green revolution is going to turn into yet another Indian famine.

We are living under DRONE target zones.national security is handed over to NSA and its PRISM.

We have become biometric as well as digital.Robotics controls all the life lines,essential services and fundamental rights.

The natural resources sold off.

Scam is the culture.

Corporate lobbying and aggressive marketing have introduced high profile prostitution and every citizen is seduced.

We are engaged in tough competition to make money without any production system.

No earning,no honesty.

It is all round money laundering and all round corruption.

The society is corrupted by the ruling zionsit corporate hegemony.

Expenses hundred times than  the actual earning is your status.

Purchasing capacity is the only survive kit to live in this infinite killing fields and we do love to live in this sexy gas chamber seeking no escape route at all.

Slavery of the worst level has rooted in our hearts and minds.We have ceased to be a citizen.

We have chosen to be inhuman and a technical digital biometric number.

Here you are,the drones with guided missiles are laundering everywhere in our skies.We are under Surveillance.

We do enjoy this bondage.Because we are right into a carnival of ethnic cleansing.

Here you are! You have to submit your ration cards now to get a digital biometric portable ration card.

The right to life and human dignity under art 21 of the Constitution also incorporates the right to have food articles and beverages which are free from harmful residues such as pesticides and insecticides, the Supreme Court has ruled.

The apex court said that food articles which are harmful and injurious to public health had the potential of striking at the fundamental right to life guaranteed by the Constitution and it was the government's responsibility to take steps for protection of life and health.A bench of Justices K.S. Radhakrishnan and DipakMisra directed the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) to "gear up their resources with their counterparts in all the states and union territories and conduct periodical inspection and monitoring of major fruits and vegetable markets."

Agriculture minister Sharad Pawar on Thursday said Congress vice-presidentRahul Gandhi has to prove his mettle before taking up a bigger role after the 2014 Lok Sabha polls.Times of India reports.

"One has to prove his mettle in administration. Rahul Gandhi should have joined theManmohan Singh government. He did not join," the NCP chief told a TV channel. "I would have preferred if he had joined the Manmohan Singh government... definitely it would have been beneficial for him," he added.

However, Pawar refused to elaborate on the issue saying he was not opposed to Rahul's candidature for the post of prime minister.

When asked whether he would be uncomfortable working under Rahul, Pawar said, "Here, there is no question of working together. There is a generation gap."

The NCP boss maintained that the two major political parties -- Congress and BJP -- may be short of the magic number to form government. "BJP might get some more seats. Congress might lose some. But the numbers may not add up," he said.

Reiterating his support for the Congress irrespective of election results, the Maratha strongman argued that that UPA had a better prospect of getting support of regional allies. "I am with Congress. My association will be with Congress. Tomorrow, if situation comes, I will stand with Congress and UPA and will help to get like-minded forces to form the government," he said, adding that Congress must work with allies.

Pawar clarified that he was not going to contest in the next Lok Sabha elections, dismissing rumours that he was in the race for the post of prime minister.

He rejected the view that there was a Narendra Modi wave in some parts of the country. Reacting to a question on Modi, Pawar said, "I have contested 14 elections so far. In my experience of electioneering, those who begin much earlier will be disappointed."

Though he admitted that traders were taking advantage, Pawar maintained that his ministry was not responsible for the onion crisis, arguing that the ministry of food and consumer affairs handled the matter.

Pawar said farmers made no money in the soaring onion prices while middlemen got rich.

Rejecting the blame on his ministry for the crisis, Pawar said, "There should be some knowledge of ground realities. To increase the production from agriculture is my job. The production of onion is on higher side this year."
