Ahmedabad, January 27: Senior BJP leader L K Advani today said the Congress-led UPA government at the Centre has failed on inflation and security front.
“Not only poor people but even the middle class are facing the brunt of high prices of food items,” Advani told reporters after attending Garib Kalyan Mela in Dehgam town near here.
“The government has failed on removing poverty over the years. Moreover, it has totally failed on the front of inflation and security,” he said.
Garib Kalyan Mela is a brainchild of Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi to extend direct benefit of schemes meant for the poor.
Modi said that the Centre did not seem serious in dealing with the issue of inflation and price rise.
