Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman has said the government will continue to take measures to check inflation and ensure that citizens are not burdened. The minister said the retail inflation based on Consumer Price Index (CPI) reduced to 4.31 per cent in January from 5.22 per cent in December and is moving towards the 4 per cent target given to the Reserve Bank of India.
She said data showed steep correction in prices of tomato, onion and potato prices, and even pulses. He stated ‘So food inflation, which gets triggered when you have an adverse weather condition, and supply chain disruptions are being managed by a group of ministers who are ensuring that timely import happens if there is a shortfall in supply.’
Besides, she listed out the steps proposed in the Budget to boost agricultural production in the country. She said ‘So it is clear that government's attempt to remove the stress of price rise is actually being received in the ground. The efforts will continue. We shall make sure that price should not be a burden on the ordinary citizens.’
