Bhalla said that constant price-hike, people in all parts of the country were taking to streets to express anger over the increase of prices of essential commodities of life but this callous govt. has not moved even an inch to address this burning issue and infect busy in poll campaigns least bothering about grievances of the common man. It divided the country on a communal line for vote bank politics. He said the government, after coming into power, had been increasing the prices of oil, gas and electricity. The government has failed to provide relief to the masses which the BJP leaders used to claim. He said that the incompetent rulers even failed to provide any relief to the common man during festive occasions also. It shows their intentions and love for people as prices of daily use commodities are cut on the occasions of religious festivals in the whole world but here the claimants of ‘Naya Kashmir’ snatched the right of living from the masses, especially the poor class,” said Bhalla.
