“They are used to questions like ‘how do they eat mangoes’, how will they discuss inflation?”, Priyanka Gandhi’s taunt on PM
Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, general secretary and in-charge of UP, has again launched a scathing attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi. He has alleged that the Prime Minister is afraid to even discuss the issue of common man like inflation in Parliament. Sharing the clippings related to inflation, he tweeted, “They are used to questions like “How do you eat mangoes”, therefore afraid to discuss in Parliament questions troubling the common people like rising inflation.”
वे "आप आम कैसे खाते हैं" जैसे सवालों के आदी हैं, इसलिए बढ़ती महंगाई जैसे आमजनों को परेशान करने वाले सवालों पर संसद में चर्चा करने से डरते हैं। pic.twitter.com/9FnxXuII9I

Let us inform that the prices of edible oils in the retail markets have increased by 52 percent in July as compared to the same period a year ago. In a written reply to a question in the Rajya Sabha on Friday, Minister of State for Food and Consumer Affairs Ashwini Kumar Choubey said that the government has taken several measures to check the rise in prices of essential food items like pulses and edible oils in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. Huh.

According to the data shared by the minister, the average monthly retail price of groundnut oil has increased by 19.24 per cent during July, as compared to the same period last year.
The prices of mustard oil increased by 39.03 percent, vegetable 46.01 percent, soya oil by 48.07 percent, sunflower oil by 51.62 percent and palm oil by 44.42 percent during the period under review. The latest figures are as of 27 July 2021.
Before coming to power at the Center in 2014, BJP used to agitate on inflation, but now it is silent after coming to power. Narendra Modi also gave several speeches on inflation before the 2014 general elections. Even hoardings with slogans against inflation were also put up with his picture across the country.
