JAIPUR: Protesting against the central government over rising inflation, food and civil supplies minister Pratap Singh Kachariyawas on Thursday said that Congress would fight and die but not tolerate ‘atrocities’ on the country. He said that the BJP has lied and misled the common man to win assembly elections in four states. After the results are over, prices of fuel and gas are on the rise again, he said.
Kachariyawas was speaking at a protest organized by the Jaipur unit of Congress at the Collectorate Circle where he reached in a horse cart with his supporters.
“If inflation continues to rise like this, people will stop using motorcycles and cars,” he told reporters.
“BJP won elections by diverting public attention from the real issues. Their leaders spoke lies and misled people. They do politics of lies and deceit and have betrayed the nation. After the elections, the government has started increasing fuel and gas prices. Congress would fight and die but will not tolerate atrocities on the country,” he said.
The minister said that the BJP targets the Gandhi family, chief minister Ashok Gehlot but it backstabs people by increasing fuel and gas prices.
“Modi government has broken all records of inflation. Their only work is to divide people in the name of religion. They can get votes by doing ‘Hindu-Muslim’ but they cannot provide employment and food,” he said. TNN
