Common man lives unique life

The common man seems to have been a bit more confused as to what they should actually follow. Whether they should use a little less cooking oil or burn traditional diyas for the family's good.  Many people could deny that they are just consuming less mustard oil and avoid making a fast shift to other packaged soybean oil in their everyday lives.  Therefore, consumption of usual cooking oil has already been reduced to a more considerable extent. Then, an appeal for a ten per cent reduction seems to have no impact at such a tender moment.  As regards burning a diya for at least two long hours, it is quite difficult in today's inflationary period. The small houses appear inconvenient for burning diyas in the intensely humid air.  What bothers the residents most is the smoke, soot and agonising smell that could force the households to remain farther from the house precincts. In some cases, dwellers leave the house to avoid intense smoke.

Everything is expensive at present



In reaction to the Wholesale Price Index statistics, Congress did not miss to flay the BJP regime, saying PM Narendra Modi usually relies on all is fine.  But does it indicate so always?

He most often is overheard using the very particular phrase "sab changa si" but, in reality, it is "sab mehenga si," as was quite ably explained by Congress.

As we know, the cost of food, manufactured goods, gasoline, and electricity continuously are going up, resulting hike of the wholesale price-based inflation reportedly. This rise got increase at 9.92% in August from 9.78% in the month of July this continuing year. 

Food index inflation typically has increased from the level of 6.65% in July to 7.05% in August this year. 

Meanwhile, WPI inflation in manufactured goods reached a record high of 8.37%, in a direct comparison to 8.29% in July.

Detailing of this information Congress party Jairam Ramesh confidently stated that our official data displayed  with all confidence that for the four successive months now the WPI inflation has been hovering around 10%. 

What remains more bothering is prices of all essential commodities. These have persisted in their upward rise, forcing huge difficulties for the most of us.

Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman in the budget strikes a perfect balance between high capital expenditure (capex) and high growth, PM Narendra Modi said.

This ninth straight Budget strengthens our country's's strong position in the world, PM Modi said. However, there has certainly been no consideration on the rising prices.

Food inflation experiences a structural shift for the 2026 budget, with the Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation reducing the food weight in the Consumer Price Index to 36.75% from 45.86%. 

This  straight reflects changing consumption patterns and aims to lessen volatility in the headline inflation, despite the fluctuations in food prices, which showing a 2.71% year-over-year decrease in December 2025.

Inflation-adjusted wages have also been unfailingly dropping, with a 5.7% decline since April. 

Regarding the rural India, we have been finding a massive 9% decline - even in the nominal terms, rural wages have declined too, as was emphatically said.

The PM keeps saying 'sab changa si (all is well), but actually this is 'sab mehenga si (everything is expensive)," as was added.

Wholesale inflation leaps to 8.3% in April 2026 due to the West Asia effect. Some are seeing of no relief in coming days.
