The Polit Bureau of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) has issued the following statement:
Post Elections: Imposing Burdens on People
The Polit Bureau of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) condemns the hikes in the prices of all variants of milk by Rs. 2 per litre by Mother Dairy and Amul.
It is clear that the government was waiting until the elections were over to impose further burden on people.
Earlier, immediately after polling was completed, the road toll tax was hiked by 5 percent across the board. This will increase the prices of all commodities, particularly food items that are transported by road, apart from increasing people’s traveling costs.
