The Pradesh Congress Committee (PCC) president Pritam Singh has said that the spiralling prices have broken the back of the poor in the state who were already reeling under the crisis created by the pandemic of Covid-19. Talking to the media persons at state headquarters of the Congress party here on Monday, Singh said that the prices of vegetables, pulses and other edible things have skyrocketed which has made things very difficult for the common public. Taking a swipe on the recent statement of Chief Minister Trivendra Singh Rawat that he would spend night in the villages, the PCC president that it appears that he has woken up from the slumber but these gimmicks would have no result. He said during the pandemic of Covid- 19 when the CM was required to visit different places, Rawat confined himself to his residence. The PCC president said that the people have now understood the real character of the BJP. He claimed that there is no coordination between the ministers and chief ministers and between the government and the executive in Uttarakhand. Singh said while some ministers want the power to write the CR of officers should be vested on them, one minister is not ready to meet the CM. Moreover there is a department in the state which is functioning without a director and secretary.
