New Delhi: Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee said it would be possible to maintain inflation at a moderate level on account of measures taken by the government. "...it would be possible for us to maintain the inflation at a reasonable level, moderate level," Mukherjee said, while replying to debate on the Finance Bill in Rajya Sabha. He further said the Centre and the states have to work collectively to remove supply bottlenecks, a move to tame inflation. "...some of them (members) have suggested for the amendment of the relevant state laws so that the new entrants can come into the regulated market. We have taken up with the state governments and we shall have to collectively work to see how these supply bottlenecks can be removed," he added.
