  • By K T Rajasingham
    www.tamilarangam.net By K T Rajasingham The United Front government faced grave economic difficulties in 1973. It needed economic growth for its rampant nationalization programs. The government took over several business and industrial organizations from the private sector, employing over 100 people, under the Business Undertakings (Acquisition) Act. Also, the government introduced stringent exchange control laws to preserve the country's limited foreign exchange reserves. Faced with grave economic difficulties and depleted reserves, the government was compelled to tamper with the social welfare program it had pledged during the general election. There was also a serious drop in agriculture production. The pledge - "When we return to power we will give you two measures of rice, we will bring it even from the moon" - became one of empty words. The government was forced to reduce the weekly subsidy for rice to 1 pound a week. In 1974, the government set up a state monopoly to purchase paddy, under the Paddy Marketing Board. According to available statistics, the board managed to collect only 20.5 percent of the crop of 1974-75. The sale of rice outside the rations became a government monopoly. The armed forces and the police were instructed to check the transport of rice by ordinary people and also check stocks of rice held by traders for possible hoarding. Rice rationing was followed by the rationing of wheat flower to 1 lb per person, and to the worst fears of the people, bread, too, was rationed. Large queues formed in front of bakeries from early in morning for the purchase of the rationed bread.
