Congress attacks PM Modi over rising prices and household budget squeeze

Congress leader Jairam Ramesh has targeted Prime Minister Narendra Modi over what he describes as insensitivity towards rising prices impacting household budgets. Sharing a media report on X, Ramesh highlighted that household kitchen budgets have increased by 20 to 25 per cent over the past three months.

Ramesh questioned when people would receive relief from what he termed "back-breaking inflation," using the phrase "pravachan mantri" in his critique of the PM. The attack underscores the opposition's focus on inflation and its impact on common citizens' purchasing power.
