Excelsior Correspondent
JAMMU, Aug 17: J&K Pradesh Youth Congress president Uday Bhanu Chib today accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of ignoring critical issues facing the country and sought to know when he will hold an interactive session on rising inflation.
In this regard, District Congress Committee (DCC) Jammu Rural today organized ‘Mehangai Pe Charcha’ (discussion on rising inflation) programme at Jammu North Assembly segment in which Uday Chib along with other party leaders and shopkeepers from different trade, farmers, ex-armymen expressed their views on increase of costs of daily use items including rice, flour, pulses, oil medicines, fertilizers, seeds and awakened people about the disastrous effects of rising inflation.
Chib said the PM was engrossed in organising events like ‘Pariksha Pe Charcha’, his annual interaction with students and seems to have no time to address pressing issues like inflation, sluggish economic growth and rising unemployment. “The PM is ignoring burning issues of the country,” he said.
PYC chief asserted that the people of the country are struggling with rising inflation and the youths are finding it difficult to get jobs. The Prime Minister is not even talking about the problems being faced by farmers and workers. Rising fuel prices and inflation have made life difficult for the common man. Prices of petrol and diesel are going up everyday and the rate of LPG has just been increased by Rs 250 per cylinder, he added.
Prime Minister does not have time to pay attention to important issues but he is organising events like ‘Pariksha Pe Charcha’ under the name of guiding students before their exams. He should have a similar discussion on inflation and other burning issues facing the country, Uday added.
Prominent among those who were present include Uttam Singh, SN Sharma, Om Parkash, Madan Singh, KK Manhas, Harbans Lal, Kuldeep Singh, CM Sharma and others.
