New Delhi, May 27 -- Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge on Wednesday launched a sharp counterattack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi's appeal urging citizens to stay safe amid the ongoing heatwave, alleging that the government is silent on inflation while speaking about public welfare during extreme weather conditions.

In a post on X, Kharge said people are "breaking out in sweat from the fire of BJP-sponsored inflation," and questioned the Prime Minister over rising prices.

"We can endure the heat, but the common people are breaking out in sweat from the fire of BJP-sponsored inflation. Won't you ever say something about the looting by your own government, Mr. Modi?" Kharge wrote.
