UP Agriculture Minister Surya Pratap Shahi started laughing saying 'one kg of pulses is Rs 100'.
A video of Surya Pratap Shahi, who was the agriculture minister in the Yogi Adityanath-led UP government, has surfaced in the news. He is laughing while talking about the price of pulses. After the video was released, the politics of the matter intensified. Samajwadi and Congress party attacked the minister. Also, attacks have been made on central and state governments. UP Agriculture Minister Surya Pratap Shahi met the media. During this he informed that dal is not more than 100 rupees per kg. Pulses are available at Rs 100 per kg. When the journalists asked him where he got duram dal for Rs 100 per kg, Minister Surya Pratap Shahi started laughing. The Samajwadi Party strongly condemned this comment of the Agriculture Minister. Party spokesperson Fakhrul Hasan Chand said it was a joke of poverty and inflation. No wonder the Bharatiya Janata Party's agriculture minister laughs at the prices of pulses, flour and rice, the way the BJP calculates the effects of inflation. This laugh is the laugh of inflation. It was a comedy of poverty and the poor. Fakhrul Hasan Chand said that the public has responded to this price-gouging politics in the Lok Sabha elections. By-elections are going to be held in Uttar Pradesh. Public will answer this joke by voting for BJP in 10 assembly constituencies. Congress spokesperson Ashok Singh also condemned the Agriculture Minister's statement. Ego of the ministers speaks that all the ministers of Yogi government are rubbing salt in the wound. Government does not discuss inflation, Surya Pratap Shahi has developed cataracts. They don't see poverty. Shahi does not see the compulsions of the common man. has increased across the country. Neither the Prime Minister nor the Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh gives any statement about this. Ego of ministers speaks. The poor man is mocked.
