When price of one item increases, the price of items which are related with it and/or substitute of it also gets increases.
E.G. Government has increased price by say 10% . Later they reduce it by say 4%. Ultimately they have increased price of all commodities by 6%.
In this process, businessmen are at huge profit and common men are at loss.
I think the government should find out more ways to curb down the food inflation to a greater extent and their attitude should be proactive rather than reactive on the given circumstances...!
