The Congress today criticized the BJP government at the Center over rising prices of essential commodities during the festive season, saying the public is fed up with the ruling dispensation and ready for change in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections.

Congress general secretary Jairam Ramesh's attack on the government came over a media report which claimed that the budget of households had been disturbed during the festive season with the prices of onion, pulses and sugar going up. He said festivals that bring happiness are also raising the anxieties of people in the Modi government. Because the prices of every essential thing are skyrocketing. He claimed that the prices of onions have increased by more than 90 per cent and are close to Rs 100 per kg. The price of arhar dal increased by 40 percent in a year to Rs 152.

The Rajya Sabha MP exuded confidence that the Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance (INDIA) will oust the BJP in the general elections. He said that the government of INDIA will immediately change the policies that are increasing inflation and benefiting the Prime Minister’s friend and will provide relief to the common people. Earlier, Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge also accused the government for imposing backbreaking price rise, plunging the savings of ordinary people, and creating economic disparity. The congress has been critical of the government on inflation and accused that it failed to address the issues concerning the general public.
