The Congress today targeted the Modi government over rising prices of commodities, accusing it of deceiving people with its "achche din" slogan and misleading people through "Goebbels-inspired" lectures.
"'Enough of inflation' they had said. Then they deceived the people saying 'Acche Din Aane Wale Hain.' The result is that for the last nine years, the public is facing the brunt of inflation. There has been no reduction in the prices of essential food items," Congress Chief Mallikarjun Kharge said in a tweet in Hindi.
"Modi ji's ministers make new excuses everyday on inflation and keep dishing out lies and propaganda in the empty plate of the public. Some of those devoted to guarding this ecosystem even teach 'how inflation is good for us' and 'Modi ji must have done it after some thought.' They mislead people with such Goebbels-inspired lectures," he said.
"But now people are becoming aware. The public has come to know that the real sponsor of inflation is only the Modi government," the Congress chief added.
In his post, Mr Kharge also shared the "current and last year prices" of essential food items such as rice, wheat, Tur dal, onions, potatoes, tomatoes, and milk.
