PATNA: The RJD and Congress on Thursday slammed the NDA government at the Centre over the issue of inflation.
Leader of opposition in state assembly Tejashwi Prasad Yadav said rise in prices of edible oil, food items, cooking gas cylinders and fuel has made it difficult for the middle-class people and the poor survive.
Tejashwi said if the prices are not controlled, he would hit the streets over the issue.
“Prices of cooking gas have been increased twice in two weeks. Cylinders distributed under Ujjwala Yojana are lying unused at the houses of the poor as they can’t afford to refill them. When the LPG cylinder was available at Rs 384 in 2014, those in opposition were raising a hue and cry. It costs Rs 1,000 per cylinder and the same people, who are in power now, are silent,” Tejashwi wrote on his social media accounts.
Congress’s Rajya Sabha MP Akhilesh Singh tweeted that inflation would persist in the country till the NDA government was in power.
