Shiv Sena protests against rising prices

Aurangabad, Aug 3 (ANI): A large number of activists of Shiv Sena staged a protest against rising prices of essential commodities in Aurangabad.

The protestors raised slogans against the Congress-led government for not checking the prices of essential commodities.

" We have staged this protest against the Congress party. Similar protests were staged by our acting president Uddhav Thackeray in Maharashtra," said Pradeep Jaiswal, a local leader.

India's central bank said on July 27 there were indications of inflation firming up by the end of the year due to increases in commodity prices, easy monetary policy and expansionary fiscal policy.

In its quarterly review of the economy, the Reserve Bank of India said food inflation remained high while patchy rains could potentially aggravate it further, and consumer price indices continued to be at elevated levels. (ANI)
