Soaring prices have made common man's life miserable: Harsh Dev

Early Times Report
Jammu, Dec 15: Accusing the govt. of failure to control inflationary tendencies and the steep rise in prices of essential commodities and vegetables in particular, Harsh Dev Singh, Chairman-JKNPP & former Minister said that the common man's life had become miserable with his staple diet getting beyond his reach.
He pointed out that there had been a four-fold rise in onion prices during the last three months which had rendered the popular vegetable beyond the means of a common man. "The astounding rate of onions reaching up to Rs.150 per kg under Saffron rule and even Rs. 200 per kg in certain states has left masses 'tear-eyed'. With LPG, diesel, petrol already being costlier, the soaring prices of vegetables and groceries has shattered the budget of a common household with housewives left dazed and confused", Harsh rued.
He regretted that inflation had become a benchmark of BJP's governance and looting people by burning holes in their pockets become synonymous with the Saffron party. He was addressing a largely attended public meeting at Sari Rakwalan in Domana Constituency today. Gagan Pratap Singh, Capt. Anil Gour, Surinder Chouhan, Parshotam Parihar, Nirmal Kishore also accompanied Singh.
Singh further pointed out that prices of almost all the pulses and cereals had risen by an appalling rate. "They are spine breaking. Arhar @ Rs.110/kg, Dhoti Moong@ Rs.106/kg, Chana @ Rs.80/kg, have set the common kitchen on fire. Likewise, the prices of edible oils and dairy products had crossed all-time high adding further burden on the people", he regretted.
Lambasting the BJP for its hypocrisy over the inflation, Singh reminded that while the BJP was in opposition, its front line leaders wasted no time to lodge series of protest demonstrations at every nook and corner of the country against the the price rise of essential commodities.
