Shimla: Congress on Saturday organized a state level protest in Mandi district against unprecedented inflation.
Himachal Pradesh Congress Committee (HPCC), President Kuldeep Singh Thakur termed the Central BJP Government as puppet playing in hands of few big business houses.

The prices of daily needs items and other essential commodities like vegetables, pulses, LPG cylinders, oil are skyrocketing, he added.
