Opposition Congress on Monday slams Prime Minister Narendra
Modi for riding to power on promise of controlling inflation yet doing
nothing on it. Leader of the Opposition Ghulam Nabi Azad said the one-and-half-month
rule of BJP government has seen all round rise in prices of vegetables
and fruits.
Azad said when in 2012 the UPA government had raised rail fares before the railway budget, the then Chief Minister of Gujarat had written to the Prime Minister opposing such adjustments prior to presentation of the Rail Budget and had demanded its rollback.
“In two years what has changed” is that the BJP government raised not just passenger fares but also freight days ahead of the Railway budget, he said, pointing out that fares and freight have been raised by a steep 14-16 per cent.
