Sushmita Dev dubbed BJP as anti-poor and slammed for its 'failure' in tackling the economic problems like inflation, falling value of Rupee against Dollar etc.
Apart from unemployment, the TMC MP pointed out price rise as well as inflation is ruining the prospect of people of the country including Tripura and putting people under serious financial crisis.
Referring to recently concluded Parliament session, Dev lamented even as the prices of commodities are sky rocketing and inflation is upward, the ruling government was in no mood to listen to the opposition and act upon it.
Dev held the government responsible for price rise and alleged imposition of GST on various food items is pushing up the prices. According to her, government has utterly failed in curbing inflation as well.
