Their prices must and can be brought down as soon as possible. No one should go hungry. Without any exception, all ministers of Manmohan Singh’s Cabinet hold him in great respect, and abide by his judgment On the same level is the need for the government to reassert its authority on territories where Maoists rule the roost.
