If the Govt. cut the wasteful expenditure incurred by it under different heads the taxes could also be lowered considerably and there by off set the increase in prices. <br />One example of Central Govt wasteful expenditure: Department for implementation of national language.<br />One from the state Government: Kerala State seed development corporation!<br />Likewise hundreds.......Nebuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09918391278683718111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7795920124734881705.post-39524515306414027772010-07-08T18:54:57.777+05:302010-07-08T18:54:57.777+05:30Perumalythoma, deregulation is anecessity.

If the price is regulated then GOI will have to find money from somewhere to fund the difference from international price - there is nothing as a free lunch. Of course GOI can do selective subsidization to protect the vulnerable - but doing this is very complex and all parties should sit together and find a way out in the interest of the nation. Have any party (ruling or opposition) put forward any suggestion?. I am writing this because you say that the government can get away with deregulation. If I was reading your comment wrongly please accept my apologies. By the way I liked your article in Yentha, especially the hypocrisy part in relation to children. May be this type of hypocrisy runs deeper among Keralites including me!Anand Antonynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7795920124734881705.post-60164046162882711242010-07-08T17:51:19.500+05:302010-07-08T17:51:19.500+05:30Happy bandh!It has become way too ordinary that it...Happy bandh!It has become way too ordinary that it felt like just another bandh day!Thats all!!And when i see the govt's ads on TV boasting about their 4 yrs achievements,especialy about peace in the state!! feels like puking..Meera's Worldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09595039881196315514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7795920124734881705.post-86798438430761186982010-07-07T15:48:42.431+05:302010-07-07T15:48:42.431+05:30Good to see you back, Mr. Tharakan.
Don't you ...Good to see you back, Mr. Tharakan.<br />Don't you think the Congress is laughing? The rest are so splintered that the government so confident that it can get away with fuel price deregulation! Would you have thought this possible 5 years back?<br />Sorry to plug a link. But thought this was relevant in the context.<br /><br />http://www.yentha.com/news/view/5/827perumalythomahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09180309657192459651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7795920124734881705.post-17980448644899279202010-07-06T18:43:42.709+05:302010-07-06T18:43:42.709+05:30Good post.

May be the only thing the ruling Government can do is to make sure that the oil companies don't create artificial price hikes. Good example by the Kerala Civil Supplies minister.Anand Antonynoreply@blogger.com
