Shotgun targets Centre over rising pulses prices

Disgruntled Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MP Shatrughan Sinha on Friday expressed concern over the spiralling prices of pulses and asked the Centre to take urgent steps to contain it. The spike in <g data-gr-id="18">dal</g> prices comes after onion prices had brought tears in the eyes of people recently, the actor-politician said.

“Dal prices have touched Rs 200. Urgent steps required by Centre to contain this! We have seen the tears that onion prices have brought in the past,” Sinha, an MP from Patna Sahib and a former Union Minister in the Atal Bihari Vajpayee government, tweeted.

However, the BJP leader left everybody guessing on who he favoured to win the polls by saying that let those win who can propel the state on <g data-gr-id="23">road</g> to progress. “I pray that the election results are also in favour of those that will propel our Bihar on the road of true progress,” the <g data-gr-id="22">69 year-old</g> actor-turned-politician said.

“This is a festival that celebrates the victory of ‘good over evil, right over wrong, truth over falsehood and humility over arrogance," he said. “Happy to be back...after a break. Best wishes to all, <g data-gr-id="20">specially</g> fellow Biharis, in this auspicious festive season, from their own Bihari Babu," he tweeted.
