PM should resign over price-rise issue, says SAD

Chandigarh, February 05:Shiromani Akali Dal today demanded the resignation of Prime Minister Manmohan Singh over his failure to control the ever rising prices of essential commodities.

In a statement issued here, SAD Joint-Secretary N K Sharma said that after befooling the masses since the last two years, the PM has accepted the fact that he cannot control ministers who are conniving with MNCs to artificially raise prices.

The NDA also ran the coalition government for five long years and prices of all essential commodities remained under control because it kept a strict check on MNCs and hoarders, he said.
