Poors' Plight in India

Thousands of tons of wheat have rotten in a Begusarai govt godown in Bihar juxtaposed with the starving crores. Even the Supreme Court had directed free distribution of such wheat instead of causing rot.

Another news that pains me is that Punjab farmers are forced to burn potatoes for lack of even minimum fair price for their produce. They are forced to sell it @Re 1/kg while in the southern India its price is sky-rocketing. Why are not the Union & the states buying the potatoes at minimum support price and offload it in the parts of the country that are deficient in its production?

It is insensitivity and a mismanagement rather misgovernance.
