People reeling under rising prices, but govt sleeping: Rahul

Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday said the people are struggling with rising prices and are forced to compromise on small things of daily needs while the government is sleeping like 'Kumbhakaran'.

Gandhi shared a video on his social media handles on his recent visit to a vegetable market in Giri Nagar here and interaction with housewives who narrated their ordeal due to rising prices of food items.

"A few days ago, I went to a local vegetable market and while shopping with customers, I talked to the vendors to know how the budget of the common people is deteriorating and how inflation has troubled everyone,” Gandhi said in his post accompanying the video.

“People are struggling with rising prices and are forced to compromise on small things of daily needs,” the former Congress chief said in his post in Hindi.
