Chandigarh: The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) criticised the central government for inflation, blaming Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s policies for the rise in prices. Malwinder Singh Kang, AAP Punjab chief spokesperson, slammed the Modi government, saying that the BJP government at centre has made life difficult for common people by constantly adding to the financial woes of the people for the last eight years.
Malwinder Singh Kang, speaking to the media at the party headquarters on Monday, said that before coming to power, Narendra Modi used to say that if the BJP came to power, he would deposit Rs 15 lakh in every citizen’s account, but after his government was formed, instead of Rs. 15 lakhs in everyone’s account, India now has a 15% inflation rate. In the last eight years, pulses have become costlier by 50%, Vegetable prices have also increased by 25 to 30 percent.
The prices of edible oil have increased by 90% and petrol, diesel and cooking gas have become 40% more expensive. Kang said that in 2014, Narendra Modi’s slogan was ‘Bahut hui mehngayi ki maar, abki baar Modi sarkar’. But like his other promises, it also turned out to be a complete jumla. Kang claimed that the country’s economy has collapsed due to the wrong policies and failures of the Modi government.
The condition of all the public sectors have become pitiable. Prime Minister Modi had promised that by 2022, he would double the income of the farmers, but instead of doubling his anti-farmers policies have halved the income of the farmers. According to a survey, there has been a decline of more than 30 percent in the income of farmers as compared to 2015.
Kang urged to Prime Minister Modi to take concrete steps to lower inflation claiming that the common people of the country are already suffering greatly. Inflation is too high; the central government should control prices of daily essentials and provide relief to the common people. Taking a jibe at Prime Minister Modi, Kang said that Modi ji often says ‘mai toh jhola utha ke chla jaunga’, implying that he should either control inflation or pack his bags and leave.
