"Inflation is worrying us. It is at a three-year high," he said on the sidelines of a function organised by the Federation of Karnataka Chambers of Commerce and Industry. "Inflation will be tamed...contained. My only appeal to the people is to be patient and have faith. The current spurt is because of international developments," he said. There had been a very sharp rise in the prices of food, crude oil and commodities. "All these have come together at the same time unlike the other occasions, when the price of one was high the other had remained stable, he said. "We are taking a number of measures. It will take some time to have some effect," he said. "Food prices will come down sooner than others," he said adding that 154 lakh tonnes of wheat had been procured, surpassing the target of 150 lakh tonnes. "We have also procured 230 lakh tonnes of rice, much higher than last year", he said. "We expect food prices to moderate", he said. The price of other manufacturing goods would also be contained, he said reiterating his appeal to people to be patient. "We are working at it. We understand their difficulty. But be a little patient".[/QUOTE]
