Acknowledging the struggle of Panthers Party for upholding the rights of women and persistently raising its voice against raging inflation besides soaring prices of fuel and cooking gas, around 22 women from Jammu city introduced by Mr. Rajesh Gondhi Provincial General Secy joined JKNPP in presence of Mrs. Manju Singh General Secy, Mrs. Anita Choudhary State Secy Mahila Panthers and others.
Addressing the new entrants into the party fold , Mrs. Manju Singh lambasted the BJP for its hypocrisy over the steep rise in fuel and LPG prices. She reminded that while the BJP was in opposition, its front line leaders wasted no time to lodge series of protest demonstrations at every nook and corner of the country against the price rise .
But now when the Saffron party having been in power, the fuel prices had peaked all time high and broken all records with none of its Ministers uttering a word over the soaring prices, she added. She maintained that NPP shall agitate on every nook and corner of Jammu Pradesh to oppose and expose the BJP for its duplicity, deceit and betrayals.
Mrs. Manju Singh further asserted that soaring price of fuel has led to steep rise in transportation fares which in turn had also turned other essential commodities dearer.
“The astounding rates of vegetables and other essential commodities has shattered the budget of a common household with housewives left dazed and confused”, anguished Manju revealed. Anguished over the sky rocketing prices of groceries, she pointed out that prices of almost all the essentials including pulses and cereals had risen by an appalling rate, she regretted. She asked the GoI to immediately come with the measures to control inflation of petro and agri-products to provide relief to the common man against the spiraling prices of fuel, gas, staple vegetables and essential commodities.
