Puducherry CM V Narayanasamy Gifts Onions on Sonia Gandhi’s B’Day

CM V Narayanasamy criticised PM Modi for being silent on soaring onion prices and failing to find a solution.

In a video released on Monday, 9 December in connection with Sonia Gandhi’s birthday celebrations in Puducherry, Chief Minister V Narayanasamy is seen gifting onions to Congress party women workers. The event was organised in an apparent dig on the Centre's failure in controlling onion prices. Narayanasamy claimed that the price has increased to Rs 300/kg while interacting with the media.
