AAP’s Raghav Chadha Attacks Govt On Inflation
Amid the ongoing winter session of Parliament, Rajya Sabha MP Raghav Chadha on Monday took a jibe at Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman over the issue of inflation. Targeting the Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman, he said, “the Finance Minister had said that she does not eat onions, so she does not know the price of onion, what will the Finance Minister say about the price of milk, curd and flour?”
“The House that look at the situation of inflation, when the Modi government was formed in the year 2014, petrol was sold at Rs 55 per liter and today petrol is being sold at Rs 100 per litre,” he added.
Raghav Chadha, the leader of the AAP, attacked the BJP in the Rajya Sabha for describing the assistance that his party provided to individuals as “revadi” and questioned how the subsidies provided by the Centre are any different, calling for a discussion on what constitutes freebies.
The Bharatiya Janta Party has used the freebies issue to attack the Aam Adami Party (AAP), particularly during the recent assembly elections in Gujarat and Himachal Pradesh as well as the polls for the Municipal Corporation of Delhi.
