PM-PRICES 2 LAST

This is the first meeting of the Congress Working
Committee in the new year amidst increasing criticism of the
government's alleged failure to control it.

Friday's meeting came a day before the conference of Chief
Ministers convened by the Prime Minister on price rise and at
a time when consultations are on for the Union budget to be
presented later this month.
Price rise in recent months has led to a veiled attack on
Agriculture Minister Sharad Pawar with Congress leaders saying
that not enough was being done on this front by the
Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) leader.
The Congress President in a letter to party workers had
recently said the issue of price rise was one of the highest
concerns and she had taken up the issue with the Prime
Minister.
The previous CWC meeting on price rise was held in August
last year in the wake of drought situation and rise in prices
of essential commodities. The meeting had asked the party and
government to observe austerity measures. PTI AMI
