Center Criticized by Congress Over Inflation, Unemployment, Recession, and Conflicts

Soaring Vegetable Prices
Based on a media report, Jairam Ramesh, the general secretary of Congress, maintains that the cost of vegetables has skyrocketed between 15 to 60 per cent over the past year. Ramesh, speaking in Hindi, voiced that a third of Indians are stressed about job loss this year under what he described as the ‘mehngaai kaal’ of ‘ahankaracharya’ (era of inflation borne of arrogance).
‘Every Second Indian Suffering’
Ramesh further claimed that, “Every second person in India is suffering under ‘anyay kaal’ (era of injustice) and is distressed due to the surge in inflation, economic recession, unemployment and conflicts, but the Modi government is busy diverting the attention of the country in its conventional style.” Yet, he asserted his faith in Congress that it would persist in its fight to grant fair justice to the citizens.
