The habit of inflation falls, the people are not bothered by it: Nitish's minister

- The general public does not travel by car but by bus so there is no problem with rising prices

Patna, Ta. Saturday, February 20, 2021

A statement by Tourism Minister Narayan Prasad on the issue of inflation is hotly debated. Speaking to reporters at the assembly premises on Friday, he said people are getting into the habit of inflation. He also said that the general public was not bothered by it.

In fact, members of the opposition were chanting slogans against the government through a picket in the assembly premises on the issue of inflation. Journalists sought the minister's response to know the government's position on the opposition's protest. But the minister gave a very strange answer to that question and went so far as to say that inflation does not make much difference. The public is not bothered by it. People have got into the habit of inflation. Even so, the general public travels by bus, not by car. Because of this the common people are not having any problem with the increased prices. His gesture at this time was towards an increase in the prices of petroleum products.

According to the minister, when the budget comes, there will be a slight increase in inflation. It doesn't have much effect and people gradually get used to it. It has a partial effect on the general public.
