Mega Store Rohini Delhi |
After purchasing my monthly foods and other daily consumable
items from malls and hyper market format stores for about three and half years
I have again turned towards local grocery store. It is true that mega and hyper
format stores of mall provide all most all the daily consumable and non
consumable items under one roof but the cost for providing facility is
enormously huge in comparison to local kirana and grocery store of neighborhood.
During three and half year I paid lot of extra money in the form of VAT and
other taxes which was never paid to local grocery store by me in the past. I also spend thousands of
rupees on items which were never considered as necessary item by any middle
class. Now I am saving these extra rupees to my kitty.

Economy of mega store is simple. Provide all kind of
consumable and lifestyle entities in a big showy place. At the entrance of hall
keep some discounted perishable food and routinely used items to attract
consumers and then sell all remaining items by reducing just one rupee or 50
paisa on MRP. For selling and convincing customers, management employs battery
of sales staff. Renting or owning huge hall and maintenance with salary of
staff need a lot of money apart from money to earn profits in books. Quite obviously
big stores have to collect all these margins from common customers and that is
why these stores never give hefty discounts to their clients. Moreover the kind
of gentry which come in big format stores don’t bother for petty discounts for
which middle class customers do bother.

I am sharing this as government of the day in Delhi has reversed the decision which had paved the way to
open multi brand mega retail stores in Delhi .
After winning political battle on multi brand retail stores by UPA, previous Shila Dixit’s government was first
among the Congress ruled state which ordered to implement center’s
controversial decision in Delhi .
Certainly Chief Minister Arivind Kejriwal must have given a lot of thought
before rolling back the much vexed decision of UPA government which was seen by
opposition as a decision to please the American lobbies. Already some ministers
of UPA have expressed their anguish on the decision of Kejriwal and many more
will come forth to criticize. Many critics have also come forward and started
comparing AAP with left parties. Big business houses which have a sizeable stakes
in multi brand retail will also take dig at AAP but there would be others also
who love to give thanks to Delhi Chief Minister.
It is good to see that AAP is forwarding on its agenda step
by step. But to take a decision or to reverse a decision is not good always
especially when matter pertain to international community. No doubt non
Congress governments have not given their green signals to multinational companies
to open their stores in their ruled states but even then Kejriwal’s latest
decision is bound to create a furor in Congress which is giving oxygen to AAP
in assembly. I think controversial decisions like this must be kept pending
till it get majority of its own and in the meanwhile take those steps which
gives benefits to AAM AADMI.
