Rise in price of basic necessities...
1998
Last time I heard for a rise in price of basic necessity was that of Onion price hike in BJP government that was way back in 1998 if I am right...Tender BJP government which had bitter experiences of 13 days governance in last election had to pay the price for making the common ppl buy the onion for more price, since it lost badly in following General Elections.
Political analysts and critics pointed out rightly that Surge in Onion prices was a critical factor in the dethroning of BJP government since it affected the common man badly as Onion is one of the basic necessity food item...Such are the effects of rise or surge in prices of basic necessities in Politics in India...
Now I feel that once again rise in price of basic neccessity could play an important role in Indian politics as ruling congress led Government has announced for a rise in hike of prices in Sugar and Wheat...
Is this going to be an alarming threat for dethroning of this government in the next elections??? Well I am afraid, Indian political history has shown that it is a big threat for governments....Lets keep our fingers crossed and wait n see what happens....

Actually they have planned to decrease the export and increase the import of these commodities. One more fact is that the prices of these are almost stable for 6 years now. we have to also account for inflation. Think again...
May be the government would have cleared the price hike by importing sugar, wheat and pulses to stem the price rise but i totally disagree with your comments that the prices of these commodities were stable...
