CNN Central News & Network–ITDC India Epress/ITDC News Bhopal: Congress leader Shailesh Pandey strongly criticized the central government over rising fuel and cooking gas prices, stating that inflation is creating serious financial pressure on ordinary citizens. Addressing a public gathering in Chhattisgarh, Pandey alleged that continuous increases in petrol, diesel, and LPG prices are directly impacting household expenses and increasing the cost of daily essentials.
He claimed that higher fuel prices not only affect transportation costs but also contribute to inflation across multiple sectors, making food items and basic commodities more expensive. According to Pandey, middle-class families, workers, and economically weaker sections are facing increasing economic hardship due to the rising cost of living.
The Congress leader also raised concerns about unemployment and broader economic challenges, arguing that citizens are struggling with both reduced income opportunities and growing expenses. He urged the government to focus on inflation control measures and provide relief to the public.
The remarks come amid intensified political debate over recent fuel price hikes and their economic impact. Opposition leaders across different states have accused the government of failing to contain inflation and protect consumers from rising living costs.
