Mulayam slams govt for price rise

Slamming the government on the issue of price rise, Samajwadi Party supremo Mulayam Singh Yadav today said inflation has further increased after the Narendra Modi government came to power.

The government, he said, has already spent much time in power by now to take action against price rise.

"Since the day they took oath, inflation has further increased," he told reporters outside Parliament.

SP along with opposition parties such as Congress, RJD, SP and AAP disrupted proceedings in Lok Sabha earlier in the day insisting on a discussion on the matter through adjournment motions.
