Jharkhand Mukti Morcha MP Mahua Maji has criticised the central government over rising prices of essential commodities in Ranchi. Speaking in the Lok Sabha, she accused the Centre of failing to control inflation, which she said was hitting common citizens hard.
Maji demanded immediate intervention to bring down the cost of vegetables, pulses and cooking oil. She said the price rise was making daily life unaffordable for families in her constituency.
The government is yet to respond formally to her remarks in Parliament.
Indian Opinion Analysis
The MP's complaint comes amid a nationwide inflation trend that the Reserve Bank of India has flagged as persistent. Food inflation, which accounts for nearly half of the consumer price index, has stayed above the RBI's comfort zone for several months. The central bank has held the repo rate at 6.5% since February 2023, but has not been able to bring food prices down through monetary policy alone, because supply-side factors such as weather and transport costs are the main drivers. The government's next move will be watched closely when the next Consumer Price Index data for Ranchi is released by the Ministry of Statistics later this month.
