Editorial: Consumed by inflation
Inflation has become a major headache for the Government. And rightly so. For in the absence of anything positive to take to the voters in the State and not-so-distant parliamentary elections, the ruling combine at least needs to ensure that the 'aam aadmi' stays neutral on its record in office. A failure to check inflation is bound to incur the wrath of the ubiquitous aam aadmi which is bound to be reflected through the ballot-box. Hence the hyper activity in the government to try and somehow contain the inflationary demons.
