Mayawati blames central government for price rise
January 14th, 2010 - 1:16 pm ICT by IANS
Lucknow, Jan 14 (IANS) Lashing out at Agriculture Minister Sharad Pawar for the recent rise in food prices, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Mayawati Thursday said wrong policies of the central government had helped “blackmarketeers and hoarders”.
“The government is working under pressure of black-marketeers. Prices are rising due to the anti-poor policies of the central government,” Mayawati told reporters here.
Pawar’s policies helped sugar mill owners, she alleged, and added that the sugar prices were sky-rocketing because of wrong policies of the Congress-led United Progressive Alliance (UPA) central government.
The Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) chief had come under attack from Pawar Wednesday for the Uttar Pradesh government’s sugar policy, which Pawar said had led to a shortage.
