Price rise comes down since 2014 under NDA rule: Arun Jaitley

Finance Minister Arun Jaitley has countered Congress' allegations on the government over price rise, saying it has consistently come down since 2014 under the NDA rule. 

Taking to Twitter, Mr Jaitley gave comparative data on inflation during the UPA rule and during the NDA government with the help of graphs. He said, Consumer Price Inflation was at 5.9 percent



in 2014-15 which has decreased to 2.7 percent in October 2017-18. 

Mr Jaitley said, since the issue of price rise has been raised by some in the Congress Party, let the data on inflation figures speak for itself.

The Congress had hit out at the government saying it has created economic chaos in the country.
