Anbumani Ramadoss has said that inflation has risen the most in Tamil Nadu in India and that the government should take steps to control food prices.
In a post on X regarding this, he said, "Inflation rises the most in Tamil Nadu in India: The government must take steps to control food prices!
According to statistics released by the central government, inflation in Tamil Nadu rose by 7.29% in the month of October, the highest in India.

This shows that poor and middle-class people in Tamil Nadu are being severely affected by the rising prices of food items, including rice, pulses, and edible oils.
Inflation has risen across India to a level not seen in the past two years. National inflation has increased to 6.09 percent, crossing the tolerable limit of 6 percent set by the Reserve Bank of India, while in Tamil Nadu it has risen by an additional 1.20%. The statistics show that rural people have been affected more by inflation than urban residents.
Although rising prices of food items and fuel across India have contributed to inflation, compared with other states, the prices of essential commodities including rice in Tamil Nadu have risen to an unbearable level. The rise in rice prices in Tamil Nadu, which has been increasing since July, peaked in October, and that is the reason inflation has gone up to this extent.
I have been urging for the past 4 months to control the rising prices of essential commodities, including rice and pulses, which are affecting the people.

However, no constructive action was taken on the government side. The scheme to provide onions at a low price through ration shops has failed. Likewise, by promising to supply fine variety rice at a price of Rs. 30 and then merely polishing ration shop rice and distributing it, it did not receive a good response from the public. This is the reason inflation in Tamil Nadu has reached its peak.
In Tamil Nadu, while per capita income has been declining over the past few months, if the prices of essential goods rise on the other hand, people will not be able to bear it. Taking this into account, the Tamil Nadu government should control the prices of all food items, including rice, pulses, and edible oils, through measures such as providing them at subsidized rates," he said.
