Congress leader Jairam Ramesh on Saturday said the “kitchen budget has been completely shattered”, accusing the Modi government of failing to address the rising cost of essential food items and alleging that families are struggling as prices of wheat flour, pulses and cooking oil increase.
In a post on X, Ramesh, Congress general secretary in charge of communications, said the government had launched what he called a “multi-pronged attack” on the common person’s kitchen. He alleged that the rise in prices had put household budgets under strain and said “crores of families” were facing distress.
