Targeting the Centre over the hike in rail fares and cooking gas cylinder price, the Congress on Wednesday said it would put more burden on the common man and called the decision “an injustice to the poor people.”
All India Mahila Congress (AIMC) president Sushmita Dev said the hike came at a time when the economy was in shambles and it would create a ‘deeper financial crisis’ for citizens.
“Is this a fair new year’s gift to the common man, Congress thinks it is not,” Ms. Dev said and added, “the question is when will the travesty going to end.”
