When there is an announcement of a hike in petrol and diesel prices there is a huge public dissatisfaction but when the other governments increase the prices of bread, eggs, vegetables and milk, the public are nowhere near to raise their voices. Is the recent hike in milk by the Government of Karnataka justified when many children are suffering from malnutrition and when many women have been unable to breast feed their children these days. The politicians would not feel the pinch but we the citizens have to take this with a pinch of salt. Is this the only increase which we citizens would have, No!! as there will be other more New Year Gifts to follow by hiking power and water tariffs with a month or so!!

My shopping bill has gone mad with all the price hikes lately, so I have changed what I eat.

Problems here and in the home Territories, Should pensioners receive equal access to hospital Care, under representation, paying back our debts!
