BJP stands exposed over inflation: Congress

Chandigarh, March 1

Slamming the Modi government for letting the prices of essential commodities rise, Punjab Pradesh Congress Committee (PPCC) president Sunil Jakhar on Monday said the BJP had “exposed itself by its failure to govern the country on each front”.

“The Modi government is working to benefit his corporate friends,” Jakhar said mincing no words while hitting out at the Central government for burdening the poor with high prices of LPG and fuel.

Leading a protest march here from the MLA Hostel to gherao Raj Bhawan, Health Minister Balbir Sidhu alleged that the poor who were already reeling under the Covid stress now could not make their ends meet, while Prime Minister’s close corporate friends were becoming richer.

They were stopped by the Chandigarh police outside the MLA Hostel here from marching ahead to gherao Raj Bhawan along with party MPs, MLAs and senior members.
