Youth Congress (YC) workers led by Bhopal lok Sabha YC president Manoj Shukla inaugurated Modi Tomato and Onion Centre here at Nadira Bus Stand on Sunday to register their protest against the skyrocketing commodity prices and vegetables.
Hundreds of Youth Congr-ess workers were present on the occassion wearing garlands of vegetables to register their protest. They even distributed free vegetables to the people.
While talking to the media Shukla said that the prices of the vegetables have increased throughout the country. He further said that price of onion has increased tremendously forcing the poor section of the society to stop its usage. Tomato which was earlier sold for 8 rupees has suddenly gone up to 60 -70 rupees per kg. In the same way the price of onion has gone up to 35- 40 rupees per kg. Moreover the price of ginger, coriander and chilli has also increased to 125- 150 rupees, he added.
He further said that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government has no control over the stock holders of the country. People are forced to buy the articles at the available prices due to the monopoly of the stock holders, he added.
lamenting the Narendra Modi-led Union Government Shukla said that the people of the country were waiting for good days after voting him to power. Are these the good days of that the Government was talking aboutIJ The body language of Modi was totally different during the lok Sabha polls now it shows that he is dissatisfied with the present scenario, he added.
