India has lashed out at US President George W Bush for blaming the growing demand in India for the spiralling global food prices.
Political parties here said a major reason for spiralling global food prices was diversion of land producing food crops in the US to bio-fuel production, while the Government said Bush was "completely wrong" in his assessment.
"George Bush has never been known for his knowledge of economics. And he has just proved once again how comprehensively wrong he is. To say that the demand for food in India is causing increase in global food prices is completely wrong," Minister of State for Commerce Jairam Ramesh said.
<b>The BJP utilised Bush's remarks to attack the UPA Government over its 'failure' to check rising prices. The main opposition said that the "statement by Bush fixes into the frame of irrelevancy of statements of the UPA Ministers. It is similar to Praful Patel saying that price rise is due to change in food habits."</b>
The Left also denounced Bush with CPI(M) general secretary Prakash Karat saying: "At a time when millions of people in India are unable to get enough food to eat and suffer from malnutrition, Bush's insensible remarks about India's prosperity affecting global food prices are adding insult to injury."

I just don't get it, why Indian minister is making personal attack on Bush. This is stupidity of highest order. These morons don't know protocol.
They should have used US policy or Bush Administration policy.
