inflation: Crores of families facing 'true hardships' from 'unabated increase' in prices of essential commodities: Congress
The Congress party has criticized the Indian government for its handling of inflation, stating that millions of families are facing hardships due to rising prices of essential commodities. This comes after the Reserve Bank of India decided to keep the policy rate unchanged for the fourth consecutive time. The Consumer Price Index has remained above the RBI's target of 4% for 47 months, with the August CPI standing at 6.83%.
