Analyze the Congress party's statement attributing the rise in food prices to the failed policies of the Modi government.
According to the Congress party, the rising food prices in India can be attributed to the failed policies of the Modi government:
- Decrease in agricultural productivity due to insufficient support and investment in the agriculture sector
- Disruption in the supply chain and distribution network resulting in higher transportation costs
- Lack of effective price control mechanisms leading to inflation in essential food items
- Reduced income levels and purchasing power of consumers due to economic slowdown and job losses
- Failure to address issues such as crop failures, weather uncertainties, and pests affecting agricultural output
- Overemphasis on exports rather than ensuring food security for domestic consumption
