National Politics: Congress urges voters to teach BJP a lesson over rising inflation

Congress general secretary <b>Jairam Ramesh</b> has launched a sharp attack on the central government, claiming that citizens are trapped in a vicious cycle of inflation and mounting debt under Prime Minister Narendra Modi's administration.
