Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday said that the people are struggling with rising prices and are forced to compromise on small things of daily needs while the government is sleeping like ‘Kumbhakaran’.
“A few days ago, I went to a local vegetable market and while shopping with customers, I talked to the vendors to know how the budget of the common people is deteriorating and how inflation has troubled everyone,” Gandhi said in his post accompanying the video.
“People are struggling with rising prices and are forced to compromise on small things of daily needs,” the former Congress chief said in his post in Hindi.
“We discussed the prices of garlic, peas, mushrooms and other vegetables, and heard the real experiences of the people. How garlic at Rs 400 per kg and peas at Rs 120 per kg have shaken everyone’s budget,” he said.
