New Delhi, Nov 28 (IANS): Delhi Pradesh Congress Committee president Subhash Chopra on Thursday accused the Narendra Modi government at the Centre and the Arvind Kejriwal government in Delhi for the soaring prices of onion in the capital, saying both were indulging in shadow boxing by making charges and counter charges without taking effective steps to stem the price rise.

Speaking to the media, Chopra warned that if the Modi and Kejriwal governments do not take prompt steps to bring down the prices of onions, then the Congress workers will 'gherao' the residence of Union Food and Civil Supplies Minister Ram Vilas Paswan.

He said that onion prices have gone beyond Rs 120 per kg in Delhi, and comparing the price of onions with the US dollar, he said that "the dollar is now cheaper than onions in the capital".

"The prices of onion and vegetables are rocketing in Delhi as the BJP and the AAP governments are in collusion with hoarders and blackmarketers," he said.

He said that the people of Delhi are "feeling let down" by the Modi government at the Centre and the Kejriwal government in Delhi.
