Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Wednesday attacked the Centre over rising prices, alleging that not a single policy of the BJP government is aimed at enhancing the income of the middle class and the poor.

Taking to Twitter, the Congress general secretary tagged a media report on the rising prices of petrol and diesel and said the hard earned money of the people is being hit by inflation.

"There is not a single economic policy of the BJP government: that can enhance the income of the middle class, poor sections and reduce their expenditure," Priyanka Gandhi said in a tweet in Hindi.

"The middle class people and the poor are afraid that they may have to take a loan for their daily expenses," she said.
