Chandigarh, October 8

Deputy Chief Minister Sukhjinder Singh Randhawa has come down heavily on the NDA government over sky-rocketing inflation, saying it was the result of “disastrous” economic policies being pursued by the Centre.

In a statement, the Deputy Chief Minister said during the past 10 months, LPG prices had increased by Rs 300, hitting the common man hard. He further said rising inflation had come at a time when farmers were already facing a financial crisis due to the farm laws and all sections of the society were reeling under economic distress due to Covid-19. “This increase is alarming considering the fast approaching festival season as every spectrum of our society is closely connected to it,” said the Deputy Chief Minister. — TNS
