Under attack for rising prices,Prime Minister Manmohan Singh today said the government was making every possible effort to control “high inflation” and insulate poor from its adverse impact.
“I know that in the last few months high inflation has caused you difficulties. It is the poor who are the worst affected by rising prices,especially when the prices of commodities of every day use like foodgrains,pulses,vegetables increase.
“It is for this reason that we have endeavoured to minimise the burden of increased prices on the poor,” Singh said while speaking from the ramparts of the Red Fort on the 64th Independence Day.
The opposition BJP and the Left parties have attacked the government over surging food prices.
