As price of fuel have touched Rs 100 march in India, itwill going to have an effect on the price of other items directly orindirectly.
Surprisingly, #1MarchSDoodh100Liter trended on Twitter.Although, anything that trends on Twitter might not be true but this trendcoming at a time when the farmers are protesting against contentious farm lawsaround the borders in Delhi and price of fuel has already skyrocketed,including the price of LPG cylinders.
Whatis the reality of this trend?
Farmers leaders protesting against farm laws havethreatened the government that they will raise the price of milk. Farmers alsosaid that the rising prices of various items was a conspiracy of a governmentto put an end to the protest.
Reportedly, one of the heads of Bharatiya Kisan Union(BKU) stated that from March 1 farmers are going to increase the price of milkby Rs 50 per litre. Common people are fearing rise in price of milk to Rs 100per litre if the prices are actually increased.
One of the sources quoted by Dainik Jagran also said thatsince the farmers are surrounded by the government at Delhi, now Samyukta KisanMorcha (SKM) has decided to increase the price of milk.
As per reports, the farmers are allegedly of theviewpoint that if the government doesn't repeal the farm laws, they willincrease the price vegetables as well.
If such reports prove to be true, the scenario acrossIndia will exacerbate because rise in price will directly affect the disposableincome of people.
