NEW DELHI: The Congress on Tuesday lashed out at the Narendra Modi government for, what it said, its “failure” to control inflation. Describing the prime minister as ‘Menhgaai-Man’, it alleged that inflation had broken all records under his regime. The women’s wing of the principal opposition party staged a flash protest against the rising inflation in front of the ruling BJP office.
In a statement, the Congress said the prices of essential commodities had skyrocketed and the government did not seem to bother while the poor and the middle classes were facing the brunt of the backbreaking inflation.
