Kolkata, December 27: West Bengal Chief Minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee today held Congress-led UPA government responsible for abnormal rise in the prices of onion and other commodities and said the party always looked after the interests of the rich.
“We have been watching the Congress in Delhi. Every month there is a price hike. Congress always looks after the interests of the rich. First, it allowed the traders to export onion thereby making way for earning huge profits and then decided to import it creating further scope to make money,” Bhattacharjee told a rally here.
He said 30/35 per cent of people in the country did not have square meals a day while another section was getting richer and amassing crores.
