Inflation Crisis Looms as Elections Take Precedence: Congress Accuses BJP

In a scathing attack, the Maharashtra Congress has blamed the BJP-led Central government for neglecting economic challenges in its pursuit of electoral victories. The party alleged that the government ignored rising prices and instead misled citizens during election campaigns.

Congress legislative party leader Vijay Wadettiwar criticized the Centre's handling of the inflation crisis, highlighting that despite warnings from Rahul Gandhi, the government prioritized state poll campaigns over economic stability.

As elections concluded, a stark rise in fuel and essential commodity prices ensued, with criticism directed towards the government's perceived negligence in addressing mounting inflation concerns.
