Indian Government Exports Wheat Meant For Poor!

Indians are not receiving their quota of wheat since the Indian government is exporting them. Earlier each individual would receive 4 kilos of wheat per month at the rate of Rs 2 per kilo. But with market prices of wheat at Rs 30 to 35 per kilo the subsidy on foodgrain has risen by at least 28 rupees per kilo. There is even a shiny like glass wheat in the market for Rs 35 per kilo. The shopkeeper said its from Ukraine ! So individuals are getting only a kilo of wheat per month from the public distribution system. This is hardly enough to meet the nutritional needs of a person. The government buys wheat from farmers at Rs 19 per kilo and often indirectly. Last year I tried selling my wheat to a government committee but I was told I would have to first pay them a bribe of Rs 2 per kilo only then would they begin purchase. So it's not surprising that Bihars agriculture minister says that he is the Chief of Thieves. Choron ka Sardar! Biscuit companies have reduced the number of biscuits in a pack by a quarter without increasing the Rs 10 price per pack. Nahin to Indians biscuit khana bhee chod denge.
