Pawar lambasted Centre and State Governments for their failure in controlling price of pulses and vegetables which are the items of daily food menu of common man.
She said that pulses are already out of reach of common man and vegetables are also following same trend and if a common man is not able to have square meals a day what will he do with ‘Acche Din’.
Pawar further said inability of government to control prices of daily eatables like pulses, vegetables etc. middle class and poor section of the society are badly affected.
“Modi came to power by assuring ‘Achche Din’ to countrymen. Is it ‘Achche Din’ of Modi when even middle class families can’t afford buying a vegetable and pulses for kitchen?” she quipped.
She further said the rising prices of vegetables are of more concern but a minister of Modi government is claiming there is no inflation.
Suman Ghoudhary Working President Jammu, Vandana Makhnotra, Santosh Sharma, Reeta, Geeta, Sunita Rajput, Sita and Bhupinder Kour also spoke on the occasion.
