The leaders said the entire country is suffering due to inflation and added that it is the responsibility of the government to ease out the situation.

In a press statement, the INDIA bloc said, “The State government led by Eknath Shinde-led Shiv Sena, Ajit Pawar-led NCP and BJP has given a shock to the citizens by increasing power tariff when the inflation is highest ever. The hike of 15 percent is a burden on the citizens who are already suffering due to high inflation.”

Speaking to the media, Sule said, “It is not just the power tariff, even prices of medicines have also increased. This has made life difficult for the citizens. We demand a rollback on the hike of power tariff and prices of medicines. If our demands are not met, we will intensify the protest.”

“The country is witnessing inflation. It is difficult for the poor and middle class people in the country to survive due to the inflation. The ruling parties in the state government, instead of giving relief to the citizens, are busy in increasing the income of private companies. The voters should teach them a lesson in the election,” said Dhangekar.

As a part of the five-phase polling in Maharashtra, Baramati will vote in the Phase 3 of the 2024 Lok Sabha elections on May 7 while Pune will vote in the Phase 4 on May 13.
