Modi: Sonia should apologise for spiralling inflation

October 08, 2012 17:45

Gujarat chief minister Narendra Modi today said that UPA chairperson Sonia Gandhi should apologise for the union government's failure to control inflation. Addressing different election rallies in the district, Modi attacked Gandhi and the union government over the rising inflation.

"Did it (Congress before 2009 general elections) not promise to check inflation in 100 days if it came to power? Did the prices go down after they (UPA II) came to power? When Soniaji came to Rajkot, she did not speak anything about inflation. Is this not cheating?" Modi said referring to Gandhi's recent visit to the state. "Soniaji should apologise for cheating the people of the country on the issue of price rise," Modi stated.
