New Delhi:  The Opposition has formally launched its attack on the government over the issue of price rise.

A debate - that will be followed by a vote- was initiated in the Lok Sabha by the BJP's Yashwant Sinha. He said his party "urges the government to overcome its inertia" to introduce a comprehensive food pricing and management policy. "This will not only bring relief to the common man but will also serve as an antidote for the growing economic imbalances in the country," said Mr Sinha.

Mr Sinha, who has served as Finance Minister, said "Corruption is the biggest cause of price rise."  "Food grain is rotting in warehouses instead of being distributed to the poor," he said.

The Opposition will unite against the government over failing the "aam aadmi" or common man. "The worst form of taxation on the poor is prices," said Mr Sinha. "When I was Foreign Minister," he added, "I would move around the world, my photos would get published. But when I went to a remote village in my constituency, asking for votes, an old lady asked me 'What's the price of kerosene?' I had no answers. And we lost the elections. You will meet the same fate," he warned.

Mr Sinha also delivered on the BJP's promise to target the Prime Minister in its different campaigns against the government. "Those who contest elections, they should be worried. Those who don't can relax," he said.  Dr Manmohan Singh is a Rajya Sabha MP from Assam.

TELENGANA TANGLE: Congress cool to Telangana leaders deadline!

HYDERABAD: In what is clearly a face-saving exercise, Congress MLAs and MPs from Telangana threatened to resign by July 4 if there’s no positive decision on T statehood by then. But the party high command doesn’t appear rattled.

Within hours after the elected representatives handed out the threat, AICC general secretary Ghulam Nabi Azad, who is camping in Hyderabad, advised his partymen not to resort to such hasty steps.

In Delhi, Cong res s spokesman Abhishek Manu Singhvi ruled out the possibility of any crisis in Andhra Pradesh in the face of the latest T tremor.

The message that came out is that while the party would allow its Telangana leaders to make shrill noises, it is in no tearing hurry to push for a decision on the contentious issue.

“Granting Telangana state will have repercussions in other States as well. Within AP, we have to take into account concerns of people of all regions. This is bound to take time. It cannot be resolved in a few days,” was how Azad reacted replying to questions from reporters.

He more or less sent out a similar message while participating in another meeting, pointing out that both in the previous and current term, the Congress is only a leading partner of what is essentially a coalition regime at the Centre.

Therefore, it is imperative for the party to consult its partners on any major issue that has national ramifications, he added.

APPCC Chief, B. Satyanarayana and A.P. Chief Minister, Kiran Reddy are trying to pacify the agitating Telengana Congress MPs, Ministers and Legislators to be patient!
