General Secretary Priyanka

prices of vegetables and essential commodities which is hitting the
poor.
The
Congress
leader's comments come a day after data showed that retail inflation
rose to about five-and-half year high of 7.35 per cent in December
2019, surpassing the RBI's comfort level, mainly due to spiralling
prices of vegetables as onions were selling costlier.
Priyanka
Gandhi accused the government of picking pockets of the common man
and also taking away their livelihood.
"The
prices of vegetables and other edible commodities is getting out of
reach of the common man.
What
will the poor eat when vegetables, oil, pulses and flour turns
expensive. The poor are not even getting employment due to the
economic recession.
The
BJP government has not just picked the pockets of the poor but also
kicked on their stomach," she said in a tweet in Hindi.
