Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee protests against partial de-control of sugar price
Trinamool Chairperson and Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee lashed out at UPA Govt. for its unjust anti-people policy of partial de-control of sugar price.
The UPA Govt. had earlier decontrolled price of fertilizers and petroleum, including LPG cylinders. Cooking gas used by common people, which was available with at subsidized rates, has been restricted in numbers.
Earlier, Trinamool Congress withdrew support from the UPA and left several ministerial posts to protest against these inhuman decisions.
Below is the excerpt of Mamata Banerjee`s statements made on her Facebook page –
Partial de-control of sugar — another anti-people decision has been taken by UPA Government today. Earlier, fertilizer prices had gone up after its de-control. In a series, Government had increased prices of diesel, petrol and LPG cylinders and also imposed restrictions on the use of subsidized cylinders.
Today`s decision is another burden on the commoners and their kitchen.
Sweet is an essential part of all important festivals be it Simui for Eid, Kheer or Payas for other festivals.
With sugar becoming more and more expensive, the common people will soon forget the taste of sweetness. If sweetness goes, then what remains in life.
Yeh decision aam aadmi ki khilaf mein.
