Rahul Gandhi Urges Centre to Protect People from Rising Inflation
GG News Bureau
New Delhi, 19th March. Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Saturday predicted that inflation is likely to rise further and requested the Central Government to act immediately and protect the people.
Gandhi said that the crude oil prices are expected to increase above USD 100 per barrel and food prices could increase by 22 percent.
“Inflation is a tax on all Indians. Record price rise had crushed the poor and middle class even before the Ukraine war began. It will increase further as: Crude > $100/barrel, Food prices expected to rise 22 per cent, COVID disrupts Global Supply Chain. GOI must act NOW. Protect people,” Rahul Gandhi tweeted.
Earlier this week, Rahul Gandhi had lambasted the Central government over high inflation and reduced rates of fixed deposits (FDs) and provident fund (PFs), and said that the common people are facing the consequences of its “wrong policies.”
“Common citizens are facing the consequences of the wrong policies of the government: FD: 5.1 per cent (down), PPF: 7.1 per cent (down), EPF: 8.1 per cent (down). Retail Inflation: 6.07 per cent (up). Wholesale Inflation: 13.11 per cent (up). Is it not the responsibility of the government to provide relief to people?” Gandhi had tweeted on Tuesday.
