New Delhi, Oct 29: Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge slammed the Modi government on Sunday regarding the increasing prices of onions. He stated that people from five states would defeat the BJP in the upcoming elections and reveal the secret behind rising onion prices.
Kharge made these comments at a time when onion prices have risen to 65-80 rupees per kilogram in the national capital’s wholesale market.
“The crying voice of the people, who have been burdened under the burden of BJP’s inflation in the last nine and a half years, … Every time on the issue of inflation, Modi government made fun of the public, teased like this – “Inflation is not visible”, “I don’t eat onions”, “It is better than other countries”, Kharge wrote in a post on X.
“Why is onion expensive again? Now after defeating the BJP, the people of 5 states will tell its secret!” he added.
साढ़े नौ सालों में भाजपाई महंगाई के बोझ तले दबी जनता की रोती-बिलखती आवाज़,
… हर बार महंगाई के मुद्दे पर, मोदी सरकार ने जनता का मखौल उड़ा, कुछ इस तरह छेड़ा साज़ —
🧅 “महंगाई दिखती ही नहीं”
🧅 “मैं प्याज़ खाती नहीं”
🧅 “बाक़ी देशों से तो बेहतर है”
