Free style wrestling is being witnessed at the preparations level itself. This is deplorable.

Shastri had earlier tweeted and dubbed the hike in prices of kerosene and cooking gas as disastrous for the common man.

He had also trained his guns on Planning Commission Deputy Chairman Montek Singh Ahluwalia for his remarks that inflation will ease by December-end.
