New Delhi: Congress leader Jairam Ramesh criticized the Narendra Modi government on Saturday, accusing it of indifference towards rising unemployment and inflation issues.
In a social media post on X, Ramesh shared a media report highlighting the escalation in food prices, emphasizing that people are grappling with the dual impact of unemployment and inflation.
Ramesh pointed out significant increases in prices of essential kitchen items such as potatoes, onions, tomatoes, vegetables, and pulses, describing the surge as unprecedented in his Hindi-language post.
“However, the Prime Minister remains conspicuously indifferent,” Ramesh remarked.
The Congress general secretary noted that Prime Minister Modi seldom addresses the issue of inflation.
“With unemployment on the rise, the public is doubly burdened by inflation. How much longer will they endure?” Ramesh questioned.
