Inflation's 'high-voltage shock' to hit joys of festivals, govt busy with 'statistical jugglery': Cong
The Congress on Monday slammed the Modi government over the rise in prices of food commodities, saying inflation's "high-voltage shock" is now weighing heavily on the joys of festivals but the government is busy with "statistical jugglery".
Congress general secretary in-charge communications Jairam Ramesh shared a screenshot of a media report which claimed that even before the start of the festive shopping season, rising prices have put a strain on household budgets.
In his post in Hindi on X, Ramesh said, "Inflation's high-voltage shock is now weighing heavily even on the joys of festivals. The Modi government is striking the public’s pockets with a new jolt of inflation every week."
