Record price rise crushed poor and middle class: Rahul Gandhi targets Modi govt

India Blooms News Service | @indiablooms | 19 Mar 2022, 11:47 am

New Delhi/UNI: Raising concerns over the rising inflation, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Saturday said the record price rise has crushed the poor and the government must act now to protect them.

Asserting the "inflation is a tax on all Indians", he said record price rise has crushed the poor and middle class even before the Ukraine war began.

"It will increase further as: - Crude > $100/barrel - Food prices expected to rise 22 per cent - COVID disrupts Global Supply Chain" he tweeted.

"GOI must act NOW. Protect people," he said.

India's retail inflation stood at 6.7% in February from 6.1% in January, the highest since July 2021.

High inflation has come on the back of higher food and beverage prices. Food prices saw an upward trajectory, with inflation measured by the Consumer Food Price Index rising to 5.85 per cent in February from 5.43 per cent in January.
