Amid soaring prices of tomatoes across the country, a Samajwadi Party worker who is also a vegetable vendor바카라 웹사이트purportedly hired bouncers to "protect" the produce in his store and바카라 웹사이트prevent buyers from getting aggressive while haggling the tomato prices.
The SP worker바카라 웹사이트Ajay Fauji바카라 웹사이트runs a grocery business in the Lanka area of Varanasi. He had바카라 웹사이트earlier cut a tomato-shaped cake in Varanasi on the birthday of Samajwadi Party president Akhilesh Yadav.바카라 웹사이트"I kept hearing about arguments over the tomato price among people. People at my shop too tried to haggle. So to put an end to the constant arguments, I decided to deploy bouncers in uniform at my cart," Fauji told PTI.
His shop also바카라 웹사이트has a placard mentioning the rising prices of commodities over the last "nine years," in an apparent reference to the period the Narendra Modi-led government has been in power at the Centre.바카라 웹사이트
SP chief Akhilesh Yadav too shared the image of a news clip relating to Fauji and his bouncers, and tweeted, "The BJP should provide 'Z-Plus' security to tomatoes."
Spike in prices of vegetables across India saw a new height with the retail price of tomato touching바카라 웹사이트Rs 160 per kilogram in some places including Mumbai 바카라 웹사이트while most of the other states are sticking to the price of Rs 120 per kg.
Earlier this week, fast food chain바카라 웹사이트McDonald라이브 바카라 dropped tomatoes바카라 웹사이트from their burgers and wraps in many parts of India citing supply shortages.
