Whereas few people of the eco-system defends why inflation is better for us and if Modiji has done it then he must have done it after some deep thought.

"They mislead the public with such Goebbels inspired lectures! But now people are becoming aware. the public knows that the real sponsor of the murderous inflation is only the Modi government!"

Kharge also attached a list of several items whose prices have increased in the last one year.
