Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Syed Shahnawaz Hussain on Wednesday said his party would continue to rake up the issue of price rise in Parliament, and slammed the ruling Congress for being tight-lipped on the appreciation of the retail rates of key commodities
Hussain used the example of onion, which is touching an unbelievable retail rate of Rs. 80 per kilogram in some parts of Delhi, to target the Delhi Congress saying that though it was the increase in onion prices that brought them into power, the state government is now refusing to comment on the present hike.u00a0
“The onion prices are on fire. The whole country is in distress because of the soaring onion prices. Meanwhile, the Congress is laughing at their misery. The Delhi Congress, who used the rising price of onion to come into power, are refusing to comment on the rising prices today. …We will take up their inaction on the price rise in Parliament,” Hussain said. Earlier, BJP spokesperson Prakash Javadekar criticized the Government for being apathetic in taking action to curb prices.
