New Delhi: Congress leader Jairam Ramesh criticised the Narendra Modi government on Saturday, accusing it of showing indifference towards the issues of unemployment and price rise.

Posting on social media platform X, Ramesh shared a news article highlighting the surge in food prices, asserting that people are suffering from both rising unemployment and inflation.

He pointed out a sharp increase in the prices of essential kitchen items like potatoes, onions, tomatoes, vegetables, and pulses, describing it as unprecedented.

Ramesh criticised Prime Minister Modi, alleging that he shows no concern or interest in addressing inflation.

He emphasised that amid escalating unemployment, the public is bearing the dual burden of high inflation, questioning how long they can endure such hardship.
