Sharad pawar should have removed from the agricultural ministry, he a is main culprit for food inflation.
Congress first five year plan- To take out realty sector(shelter) out of reach to common people.

Second five year plan : Take away food from the mouth of the common man.

Third ???????????

No work for MMS and Sonia gandhi. Playing musical chair with the cabinet ministers. Corrupt and shameless people will remain as it is wherever they go. The only difference is the source of illegal wealth changes. MMS and Sonia are giving treat to the cabinet ministers. The starters have got over and now the main food is going to be served.

People have lost complete faith in Dr.Manmohansingh`s government after his silence in midst of numerous scams exhibiting that the party is helpless because of its allies. Young Rahul should make his entry and weed out the party thoroughly if it wants to sustain in power.

What is the use of shifting the ministers one post to other. It is not going to help the common public who are reeling high food inflation, sky-rocketing prices, of essential commodities and vegetables. Nobody bothered about the country, public. They are enjoying the benefits of the Govt at the cost of the taxpayers money. It-is only wasteful exercise of time, money.What the P.M going to achieve by this reshuffling when he is unable to contain the spiraling of prices,scams galore, petrol price-hike for 8 times within a period of one year?
