Mangaluru, Aug 7: “The prices of essential commodities are sky rocketing from the day the Congress government was formed in Karnataka. Life of commoners has become miserable,” said Mangaluru South MLA Vedavyasa Kamath. He said that the government is looting the public.
Kamath further said, “The government which announced the Gruha Jyothi scheme has increased the electricity tariff. The government which boasts of providing rice that costs Rs 175 for free, has increased the price of milk by Rs three per litre. It is looting Rs 1000 from every household every month. The rate of rice which was around Rs 38-40 three months ago, has touched Rs 50.”
“Deputy chief minister D K Shivakumar himself said that it is difficult to accumulate funds for development in the state. The state government is completely neglecting the needs of the common man,” he said.
