Indian National Congress has launched a fresh political attack on the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party over rising inflation and increasing fuel prices. Senior Congress leaders accused the government of failing to control essential commodity prices, saying common citizens are bearing the burden of economic mismanagement.
At a press conference, opposition leaders highlighted rising household expenses, transportation costs, and unemployment concerns. They demanded immediate intervention from the central government, including fuel tax reductions and expanded welfare support for lower-income families.
The BJP responded by defending its economic record, pointing to welfare schemes and infrastructure spending as evidence of strong governance. Party leaders argued that global factors are largely responsible for current inflation trends.
The issue is expected to become a major political talking point ahead of upcoming state elections, with both parties attempting to shape public opinion on economic governance.
