Urgent need to curb price rise - NCP, TMC to Govt

New Delhi: Pressure seems to be building on the UPA government from it allies like the NCP and Trinamool Congress to check the rising prices. NCP chief Sharad Pawar said that there was an urgent need to curb price rise.

"There is an urgent need to check rising prices. The UPA partners are also feeling its impact," Pawar said.

Trinamool Congress leader Mukul Roy echoed Pawar's sentiment saying that the TMC was also raising its voice against price rise.

He, however, maintained that the TMC is not threatening to withdraw support to the UPA.

"From our political angle, we have said that though the prices have been raised in the international market but the government has got some social and economic responsibility to the people," Roy said.
