Congress says people must express outrage over inflation by teaching BJP a lesson in upcoming polls
Under the Modi Government, the common person’s life had become trapped in a dual vicious cycle of inflation and debt, Jairam Ramesh shared on X
New Delhi: The Congress party has accused the common people in Punjab, Uttarakhand, Uttar Pradesh, Goa, and Manipur of falling into a cycle of inflation and debt, urging them to punish the BJP in upcoming state elections. Congress general secretary Jairam Ramesh pointed to a NABARD survey showing that rural households spend 53.5% of their monthly income on food due to inflation, citing soaring food prices and rising debt.
Despite government assistance, food prices continue to soar, straining rural families' finances. The Congress claims the Modi government's rural prosperity claims are false, as poverty and debt burden worsen. With inflation showing no signs of relief, the Congress urges the citizens of these states to vote against the BJP's "anti-people" policies in the forthcoming elections.
