How have failed policies of the Modi government contributed to the rise in food prices according to the Congress

Analyze the Congress' claim that the increase in food prices is a result of failed policies by the Modi government.
  • Implementation of flawed economic policies by the Modi government has disrupted supply chains and agricultural infrastructure, leading to inefficiencies and price hikes.
  • Decisions like demonetization and hasty implementation of GST have adversely impacted the agricultural sector, affecting productivity and distribution of food items.
  • Lack of effective management of food stocks and inadequate government intervention to regulate prices have allowed hoarding and black marketing to flourish, further driving up prices.
  • Failure to provide timely support and financial assistance to farmers has resulted in crop losses and reduced production, contributing to the overall increase in food prices.
  • The absence of proactive measures to address issues such as weather-related disruptions, pest infestations, and fluctuating market demands has also exacerbated the situation.
