Is the Government justified in hiking the price of essential commodities?

The object of government in peace and in war is not the glory of rulers or of races, but the Happiness of common man.

  

With inflation rate rising, the price of pulses, food grains, vegetable are sky-rocketing.Not only this the recent proposal in price hike of milk by rupees 3 has come up as another bad news for the common man.

1. Why there is no check on price rise of essential commodities?
2. why petrol is cheaper in neighbouring countries?
3. why newton's theory of gravity is not applicable to price rise?
4. Is economics more important than common man's interest?
5. Did any Government ever ask the consumers whether they are ready for a price hike? (It's a democratic country)

The story doesn't ends here.Well it can end also (oops i forgot) as i know we are silent majority.
This is just another thread which you will look,wonder,discuss and forget but if it is a thread related to "Punjabiyan di shaan vakhri " then m sure u all will like or comment. People this is just the beginning.

Leaders need to be strong enough to shoulder responsibilities, but sensitive enough to understand the common man's problems.
