CPI Leader Calls for Kerala Government Action on Rising Onam Commodity Prices
CPI leader G.R. Anil has urged the Kerala government to intervene to control rising prices of essential commodities ahead of the Onam festival. He contrasted the current United Democratic Front (UDF) administration's approach with previous Left Democratic Front (LDF) governments, which implemented market interventions and maintained lower prices through Supplyco outlets and public distribution systems. Anil highlighted reductions in rice allocations and price increases under the UDF, emphasizing the impact on consumers reliant on subsidized goods during the festive season.
