Panchkula: Former Haryana Mahila Congress president Sudha Bhardwaj has expressed deep concern over the rising inflation, stating that the spiralling prices of LPG, fuel, and essential goods are severely impacting households, particularly women who manage daily expenses.
Impact on Households
In a statement, Bhardwaj, who recently contested the mayoral election unsuccessfully, highlighted that the latest hike in cooking gas prices has further strained family budgets. She emphasised that women are struggling to manage kitchen expenses as food and essential items become costlier, while incomes remain stagnant.
Government's Failure to Control Inflation
Alleging the government's failure to control inflation, Bhardwaj pointed out that rising petrol and diesel prices have driven up transportation costs, thereby pushing up the prices of everyday items. She urged the government to regulate LPG, fuel, and essential commodity prices to provide much-needed relief to the common man.
Warning on Unchecked Inflation
Bhardwaj warned that if inflation continues unchecked, it could worsen the financial condition of households across the country. She called for immediate measures to curb price rises and protect the economic well-being of citizens.
