People struggling with inflation, govt sleeping like ‘Kumbhakarna’: Rahul
Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday said people were struggling with rising prices and are forced to compromise on small things of daily needs while the government is sleeping like ‘Kumbhakaran’.
Rahul shared a video on his social media handles on his recent visit to a vegetable market in Giri Nagar here and interaction with housewives who narrated their ordeal due to rising prices of food items.
“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,” he said in his post.
“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.
“What will people eat and what will they save,” he wondered.
