New Delhi: UPA Chairperson and Congress leader Sonia Gandhi has today announced thru her spokesman Dr Manmohan Singh that all overweight MPs will have to undergo Gastric Bypass surgery in a bid to control inflation in food prices.
Mrs Sonia Gandhi , today after a core cabinet meeting, has come out with the novel way to control the prices of essential foods. The UPA chairperson said " this will not only help reduce demand and bring about a fall in prices of food but will also help improve the health of the elected members thus resulting in a win win situation for both." Analysts have welcomed the move which they say is a small step in the right direction. Doctor Singh (although a doctor in economics) explained that Gastric Bypass was was a surgery in which the patients stomatch is made smaller this resulting in him/her being less hungry and eating less quantities of food. he explained that this way demand for food would fall and the economies of demand and supply would come into force resulting in lowering of food prices.
It is not yet known how the govt decides to fund the surgeries and under which scheme though sources have confirmed that MPs willing to take the benefit of the scheme will be allowed to get their surgeries done in Specialist Clinics in America and would be allowed to take their family with them for support as they go under the knife.
Meanwhile it has been learnt that BJP is trying to take credit for the govt policy stating that they were the ones who came out with the idea and that Mr Nitin Gadkari's selfless sacrifice of going under the knife early last month had infact inspired UPA to take this decision. It should be noted that right after the BJP spokespersons surgery food inflation index had dropped by an astonishing 1%. Mr Gadkari it has been learnt has decided to undergo a second surgery in America after hearing about the scheme.
