Chandigarh, Dec 9 (UNI) Punjab unit of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), while expressing serious concern over the rising prices of onion and other essential commodities of daily use, has submitted a memoranda to the government in the saddle through Deputy Commissioners (DCs).
In a statement here on Monday, Punjab AAP president and MP Bhagwant Mann said that due to the anti-people policies of the successive state and central governments, the people were left to suffer. He said the income was dipping at an alarming rate and so was the unemployment in the state, leading to a sharp surge in the prices of onion and other commodities of daily use, saying that neither the Captain government in the state nor the Modi government at the centre were sensitive about the malaise the people were subjected to face.
He said, 'The governments were busy on an appeasement spree to benefit a handful of corporate houses and other big time entrepreneurs', accusing that the government of draining out the common man’s share of money available on account of certain welfare schemes through big ‘deals’ to leverage into appeasing the ‘patronized’ few corporate houses.
