The Delhi BJP President Shri Vijay Goel today lambasted the Congress government for lack of resolve in controlling the spiraling prices of essential commodities especially vegetables.
Shri Goel said, “The skyrocketing prices of potatoes, tomatoes and onions are all approaching Rs 100 Kg each. They are even costlier that petrol or diesel now. With the food inflation already hovering at 18% to 19%, and now the prices of vegetables shooting up, the common people are founding this burden unbearable now.”
The prices of vegetables continue to shoot up and they have gone beyond the reach of middle and low income groups. But the Congress government seems to be sleeping on this issue. The statements by various Congress ministers are turning out to be hollow promises. For many months now, the Congress government has been assuring Delhi residents that the prices will be brought under control soon but the ground realties speak otherwise.
“What we are witnessing today is complete policy paralysis at all levels. Add to that the insensitivity of Congress Chief Minister and ministers and other leaders. The result is that common people are suffering immensely.”
In context of the inflation issue, Shri Goel raised following five questions today seeking anwer from Congress government
1. Why Congress government is not stopping export of onions?
2. Why the Delhi government did not respond to NAFED’s repeated requests of arranging supply of onions for Delhi through imports well in advance?
3. Why the food and civil supplies minister Haroon Yusuf is not being sacked for complete failure to control prices and ensure enough supplies?
4. What action has been initiated against those government officials who are responsible for monitoring prices and doing crisis management on price front ?
5. Why such poor quality onion which is not fit for human consumption is often provided through government run outlets?
Most vegetables out of reach of common people as insensitive Congress government suffers from Policy paralysis : Goel

Education is a progressive discovery of our ignorance. Hence it’s imperative in the interest of societal development that its children and youth are well educated. It’s a shame that Delhi despite being the capital of India is not fully literate whereas a small state like Kerala has attained 100% literacy.
Wateris vital for the existence of life but we need to realize that like all the other resources it is not unlimited and, going by the experts’ opinion, the next war could be fought because of it.
Youth Development Youth is the backbone of our country’s progress and we all need to work towards their overall development. Apart from providing training & employment in traditional careers I have always encouraged active youth participation in politics.
Housing To own a home, irrespective of the size, is a dream cherished by many. I understand this sentiment and that is why I championed the cause to help protect the applicants who were promised homes and felt cheated by the Delhi government.
Power is one of the basic amenities of life happens to be a matter of great concern for the citizens of Delhi. Faulty meters, power shortage and inflated power bills are the most common grievances faced by every other citizen.
