Rahul Gandhi, the Leader of the Opposition in Lok Sabha, targeted the government regarding the rise in vegetable prices, claiming that the kitchen budgets of ordinary people have been severely disrupted. He said the government was sleeping like Kumbhakaran.
Rahul recently visited a vegetable market in the Kalkaji area of Delhi. He posted this video on his YouTube channel and wrote that he talked to the vendors while shopping with the customers.
During this time, Rahul Gandhi gained insight into the declining budgets of ordinary citizens and the impact of inflation on their lives. Many are grappling with rising prices and are forced to make sacrifices on everyday essentials. Rahul said that he discussed the costs of garlic, peas, mushrooms, and other vegetables, listening to the genuine experiences of the people.
Rahul Gandhi told how garlic at Rs 400 per kg and peas at Rs 120 per kg have shaken everyone’s budget. What will people eat and what will they save. According to Rahul Gandhi, while talking over tea, he closely understood the problems of housewives’ lives, how income has remained stagnant and inflation is continuously increasing uncontrollably. He said it is impossible to save anything and it is difficult to arrange even a rickshaw fare of Rs 10 due to high food expenses.
Rahul told vendors and customers that you are also feeling the effect of inflation. Tell us how you are struggling with this problem – you know the condition of the market, you also share your personal experience with us. Rahul Gandhi posted this video on ‘X’ and alleged that rising inflation has spoiled the budget of the common man’s kitchen – the government is unaffected.
