‘Kya hua tera vada’: Congress takes dig at PM Modi on rising prices of food items
From June to September, the all-India average retail price of onions rose from ₹29.50/kg to ₹53.78/kg — a staggering 82.3% increase in just three and a half months, Congress’ Jairam Ramesh said
The Congress party has taken aim at Prime Minister Narendra Modi over the rising costs of food items, referencing the 1977 Bollywood hit "Kya hua tera vada." Jairam Ramesh, the Congress communications chief, shared a media report highlighting how the surge in prices of essentials like pulses, cooking oil, and spices has left middle and low-income households struggling.
Inflation has hit onions particularly hard, with prices jumping 82.3% from June to September. Meanwhile, the government's silence on the issue has left the public questioning where the promised "achche din" have gone.
