194Uncorrected/ Not for publication- 08.12.2009won elections. It might, actually, come out to be disastrous for thecountry as a whole. I would like to make only one point, Sir.The knee-jerk reactions that the Government is giving, forexample, importing the essential commodities, banning the export ofessential commodities, imposing restrictions on the futures market, etc.,are all anti-farmer measures which will discourage the farmer fromproducing more next year. This year you suffered from drought and nextyear it might come as inundation and flood and you are not reallyequipped to meet that situation. This year you might escape becauseyou have sufficient stocks. But, next year, you might be really in troubleand don't think that the electorate is as favourable to you that time asthey are this time. Thank you.(Ends)THE VICE-CHAIRMAN (PROF. P.J. KURIEN): Thank you. You stick totime. You have taken less time.SHRI SHARAD ANANTRAO JOSHI: Sir, I always do that.THE VICE-CHAIRMAN: You are very crisp and to the point. And, youhave made very good points.SHRI SHARAD ANANTRAO JOSHI: Thank you, Sir.THE VICE-CHAIRMAN: Smt. Stanley.SHRIMATI VASANTHI STANLEY (TAMIL NADU): Thank you Vice-Chairman, Sir, for giving me the opportunity. I record my concern hereover the increasing trend in prices of essential commodities like edibleoil, pulses, etc. The result is showing on other commodities also likevegetables and fruits.

So, this is of muchconcern and the need of the hour is to address this sincerely.The main reason for increase in the prices is the mismatchbetween supply and demand. That is, when the demand is very highand the supply is less, certainly, it paves way for increasing the price.The supply is less due to floods and drought conditions. In such acondition, the supply of essential commodities can be increased onlythrough import. If at all there is hoarding, we can impose stockholdinglimits. Tightening of de-hoarding operations will have only a temporaryrelief.(CONTD. BY PB "3S")PB/3s/5.30SHRIMATI VASANTHI STANLEY (CONTD): This cannot have a desiredeffect on price rise if the supply condition is acute.(Hon. Member may fill the Tamil portion)__________________________says the Tamil Poet, which means, 'The Government should be able tocreate the resources, guard it very well and then equally distribute it."This is what the Government of India is doing now.India is now facing such a short supply, particularly, in respect ofpulses and oils. The Government of India is implementing a scheme forimporting and supplying edible oils and pulses to the State for itsdistribution through PDS. But, Sir, the quantum of supply is very, veryinadequate for Tamil Nadu. For instance, in Tamil Nadu, the State hassupplied 71,000 tonnes of Tur dal, whereas, the Central Governmentagencies have supplied only 250 tonnes.
