Shikarpur (Uttar Pradesh), Feb 7 (ANI): Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Varun Gandhi has blamed Union Agriculture Minister Sharad Pawar and Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Mayawati for the spiralling prices of essential commodities, naming them as Ravana and Shurpanakha.

Addressing a public rally at Shikarpur in his constituency of Pilibhit, Gandhi said, "The duo of brother and sister is responsible for the price rise in the country. The pair of Ravana and Shurpanakha are causing price rise in the country. One is ruling in Delhi and another in Lucknow."
