Slamming the UPA government for the price rise, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Jayalalithaa on Wednesday said it was the Centre’s responsibility to bring down the prices.
“It is the Central government which is responsible for rise of prices all over India. It is upto the government to take appropriate steps to bring down prices,” she told reporters after inaugurating the renovated Press Room at the state Secretariat here.
She said the Centre has to take steps to bring down prices to help the common man.
Her comments came on a day when the Opposition initiated a debate on price rise in the Lok Sabha.
The Press Room, according to a State government release, was renovated at a cost of Rs 25 lakh.
The renovated air-conditioned room has been equipped with facilities such as plywood accessories, glazed tiles, a large TV set and loudspeaker to follow proceedings on the floor of the Assembly, the release said.
