New Delhi: The Congress on Tuesday slammed the Centre over the “skyrocketing” prices of essential commodities, alleging the government’s entire focus was only on “saving the image” of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and “benefiting its crony capitalist friends”.

Congress general secretary Jairam Ramesh said inflation is skyrocketing due to the “anti-people policies” of the Modi government.
“The prices of all essential commodities including vegetables, flour, rice, pulses are increasing continuously. The ‘thali’ has become costlier by 28 per cent in one-and-a-half months,” Ramesh said in a post on X and shared a media report which claimed that the price of the ‘thali’ has gone up by 28 per cent and daily kitchen expense by up to Rs 100.
On one hand inflation is increasing, on the other hand farmers are not getting the right price for their produce, Ramesh claimed.
