Kolkata, March 31 (IANS) Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) president Nitin Gadkari Wednesday blamed "bad governance" of the United Progressive Alliance (UPA) government for the spiralling prices of essential items.
"History tells us that whenever the Congress is in power, prices go up," Gadkari said at a party convention here.
The BJP chief said unless the present government is ousted, prices would remain high.
"The commoners are facing serious problems due to skyrocketing prices. This is due to bad governance of the UPA government," he said.
