Attacking the AAP and BJP, the ruling parties in the city and Centre, Delhi Pradesh Congress Committee chief Ajay Maken said that the party will hold a symbolic effigy burning of 'inflation' on Dussehra in all the 70 Assembly constituencies in the capital simultaneously.

"If the Centre had made timely intervention, the rate of dal wouldn't have reached this high," he added.
