Congress leader Vijay Wadettiwar accused the BJP of failing to curb inflation and protect public depositors, warning that rising prices and unsafe savings are hurting citizens.
Maharashtra Congress senior leader Vijay Wadettiwar publicly criticised the Bharatiya Janata Party, alleging that its policies have not succeeded in containing the surge in consumer prices. Speaking at a press briefing in the state, Wadettiwar highlighted the impact of high inflation on everyday households and warned that the safety of public deposits remains a pressing concern.
He asserted that the BJP government’s economic measures have failed to shield savers, leaving their deposits vulnerable amid volatile market conditions. The leader urged the ruling party to take immediate steps to stabilise prices and reinforce the security framework for depositors, emphasizing that financial confidence is essential for the common man.
Wadettiwar’s remarks come ahead of the upcoming state elections, where economic issues such as inflation and deposit safety are expected to influence voter sentiment.
