When the whole world is envious of the pace of economic progress India is making under Manmohan Singh's administration, BJP seems to find it politically beneficial to be blind to India's economic growth by leaps and bounds. The current food crisis is a global condition but for BJP leaders it is confined to India for which Manmohan Singh government's economic policies are  to be blamed. No one would be more amused by this accusation than the US President George Bush, who too has accused India along with China for the global food crisis, though for an entirely different reason – the unbelievably fast progress the two countries have made. The statements of Bush and the BJP leaders on the food crisis, though contrary to each other, show one thing common between them – they are both blinded by politics to see the the real reason behind the global food crises, which is clearly visible to the rest of the world leadership as bluntly brought out by the U.N. Special Reporter on the right to food :
“The U.S. and the European Union have taken a 'criminal path' by encouraging use of food crops to produce bio-fuels and thus contributing to an explosive rise in global food prices”.
