‘PM says sab changa si, but sab mehenga si’ Congress on WPI inflation
Congress leader Jairam Ramesh criticised the prime minister’s comment that “everything is fine but everything is expensive,” citing the latest wholesale price index data. He pointed to CMIE figures showing real wages have fallen 5.7% since April, indicating that inflation‑adjusted earnings are consistently declining, worsening the public’s cost‑of‑living burden. Ramesh urged the government to take corrective measures to protect purchasing power.
