In India the onion has the power to bring the government to its knees, be it BJP or Congress, it does not differentiate. We have seen governments crashing in 1980, 1998 and 2010 mainly due to onion shortage.
In 2015 onion prices rocketed to the level of Rs.100 per kg which had never been seen before.
It is very easy to blame the infamous channels because world believes it easily. Same is the story of shortage of onions in India. It is easy to blame it on bad weather and nefarious network of small onion Traders. But the real masterminds of this game enjoy this shortage havoc from their well-guarded positions.
