KATHUA, Apr 21: Former MLA Billawar and Congress leader Dr Manohar Lal Sharma has accused Modi-led BJP Government over the further rise in the prices of essential commodities and daily consumable items instead to check and control the unprecedented price rise.
“It is very unfortunate that Rs 50 per kg rise in pulses price and Rs 15 per kg hike in sugar price has become unbearable burden for the comman man. The people were expecting a steep decline in the prices of essential commodity in Modi Raj but nearly two years are going to be completed by them the good days are no more visible till today,” Dr Sharma said in a press statement here.
He strongly criticized BJP leadership in J&K for its failures to raise the issue of imposing 12.5% tax on Yatris of Shri Mata Vaisno Devi Ji during recent visit of Prime Minister Modi in Katra on April 19, which was gifted by the BJP-PDP Government in State to the Yatris of Mata Vaishno Devi.
Mr Modi and other BJP leaders always accused the UPA Government over price rise during Parliament election and other public meetings but BJP and its leadership is completely silent over this unprecedented price rise by increasing Excise Duty. Instead to cut, the Excise Duty already charged during the regime of UPA Government has been increased. Mr Modi did not miss any single occasion to make comment or joke over UPA Government led by Dr Manmohan Singh. Now, why he and his team is not fulfilling the promises made to the people of the country even after a lapse of almost two years.
He said BJP leadership is trying to create an atmosphere of communal, decisive and mistrust among the masses to divert their attention from the burning issues of price rise, unemployment, drought like situation in different States.
