The common man is troubled by the burden of inflation. Inflation is increasing continuously. First the prices of tomatoes and now of green vegetables have increased. The common man’s budget is deteriorating due to the ever-increasing rate of vegetables. At the same time, the taste of food has gone from the food plates of the people. The common man is constantly being hit by inflation. With the increase in the prices of tomatoes, now the rates of ginger and green chillies have also increased. The prices of vegetables have reached the seventh sky. The rising prices of vegetables have spoiled the taste of food. There has been a record increase in the prices of tomatoes in many parts of the country. Tomato prices have now reached from Rs 120 to Rs 160.
Tomato has become so ‘red’ in the country that people are crying tears of inflation and due to its rising prices, the flavor in the public’s kitchen is not being fulfilled. However, the surprising thing is that the central ministers of the central government are not considering this as a big problem and are saying that due to the rains, the prices keep increasing. Tomato prices are going to come down soon and just have to wait a bit.
Union Minister Piyush Goyal while talking to ANI said that this week tomato is the only commodity whose prices have gone up. We all know that due to unseasonal rains, a jump is being seen in the prices of tomatoes. As soon as the arrival of tomatoes starts from Himachal Pradesh and some parts of Karnataka, the prices of tomatoes will start coming down.
It may be very common for the government, but it is becoming difficult for the common man to fulfill their daily needs. It is matter of concern that the government goes to this general public to ask for votes, but after the elections, the problems of the middle class people seem very small to them. Now the common man of India has become so compelled to bear the brunt of inflation that instead of speaking against inflation, he has started reducing the food from his plate.
If the rising inflation is questioned, then the answer of our Finance Minister is very simple and accurate. She directly says that I do not eat this thing at all.
*What did Nirmala Sitharaman say?*
In fact, in 2019, Nirmala Sitharaman was surrounded by the rising prices of onions, she had allegedly said in Parliament, “Don’t worry if I don’t eat onions and garlic.” I come from a family that has nothing to do with onions. Congress and Shiv Sena have taunted Sitharaman because of this. Uddhav Thackeray faction’s Rajya Sabha MP Priyanka Chaturvedi tweeted, “Does the country’s finance minister eat tomatoes?” Will she be able to answer the rising prices of tomatoes?” On the other hand, Supriya Shrinate from the Congress said that after the immense success of I do not eat garlic and onions, now it is going to come soon that I do not even eat tomatoes.
Congress General Secretary Jairam Ramesh said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi had given priority to tomatoes, onions and potatoes, but due to his wrong policies, tomatoes are first thrown on the road and then sold for Rs 100 a kilo.
*Now it will be interesting to see how the Modi government, which has made big promises regarding food, clothing and housing, will solve the very common problem of the general public.*
