Congress Slams Modi Over Soaring Food Prices and Inflation

On Monday, the Congress party criticized the Modi government for the rising prices of food. Congress leader Jairam Ramesh pointed out that while the bullet train promised by the government hasn’t arrived yet, inflation is skyrocketing faster than the train. He mentioned that everyday items like flour, oil, and spices have become 1.5 to 2 times more expensive over the past year.

Ramesh highlighted that inflation has doubled and tripled in the last ten years, making essential goods like vegetables, milk, and cooking oil unaffordable for many families. He asked if this was the “good days” that were promised to the public. The Congress party insists that people want real answers, not just empty promises. They have been criticizing the government for not managing the economy well and for the rising unemployment and prices.
