Congress slams AAP over price rise

June 29, 2015 12:00 am | Updated 05:34 am IST - New Delhi:

The Congress on Sunday held a protest against the Aam Aadmi Party-led Delhi government, accusing it of “total failure” in controlling price rise of essential commodities, including fruits and vegetables.

The protest, held at Mahipalpur, was led by DPCC chief Ajay Maken. He slammed the AAP government for presenting a “lacklustre Budget”, which he said will cause “inflationary pressures”.

“The government has totally failed to control price rise. It had promised to control price rise ahead of the Assembly election, but now we have seen how the prices of essential commodities, fruits and vegetables are going up,” he told the protesters.

He further said there was nothing in the Budget for the common man, adding that the AAP government had not done anything for the welfare of the common people. — PTI
