BRS women leaders displayed a comparative chart of the prices of essential commodities in 2023, during the previous BRS regime, and in 2026 under the Congress government. They pointed to increases in the prices of rice, cooking oil, LPG cylinders, milk, sugar, red gram, eggs, onions and tomatoes.

The BRS women leaders said the price rise was severely affecting the monthly budgets of middle-class and lower-income families, with women bearing the mental stress of managing household expenses. They demanded the full implementation of the six guarantees promised by the Congress during the Assembly elections and immediate measures to control the prices of essential commodities.

The protest was attended by senior BRS women’s wing leaders, representatives and party workers.
