Ramesh Chennithala urges Kerala govt to curb rising costs
T'puram: Senior Congress leader Ramesh Chennithala has urged the state govt urgently intervene in the market to address the issue of rising costs that are making life extremely difficult for people in Kerala. He accused the govt of trying to divert attention from the exploitation of the people by large corporates and multinational corporates (MNCs) by focusing on the Nilambur byelection. "The common man's life is becoming increasingly unbearable. The govt should stop ignoring the issue and take immediate action in the market. In Kerala, the price of coconut oil increased by Rs 70 per kg. Coconut is hard to find at a reasonable price. The price of rice rose by Rs 8 to Rs 15. The cost of all essential goods is skyrocketing. Every new batch of goods from MNCs sees a price increase. The govt is not paying attention to the market. They are creating social issues to divert public attention from the real problems," Chennithala said on Sunday. While inflation significantly decreased in India, it has doubled in Kerala, he said. "According to data from April 2025, the inflation rate in India is only 3.16%. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like They Were So Beautiful Before; Now Look At Them; Number 10 Will Shock You Reportingly Undo However, during the same period, Kerala recorded the highest inflation rate among Indian states at 5.9%. This indicates the uncontrolled price hikes of essential goods in Kerala. The state's finance department has completely failed. Not only did the debt increase, but the finance department also failed to control the price rise," he said. The govt has always effectively intervened in the market to control price hikes in Kerala. This was achieved by supplying essential goods through Maveli stores and Supplyco outlets. However, the govt is now in a state of complete failure, unable to manage even that. The govt should focus on the fundamental issues, demanded Chennithala. Follow more information on Air India plane crash in Ahmedabad here .
