‘Consume Less Mustard Oil, Eat Boil Food’: Dispur MLA Atul Bora On Inflation

Amid skyrocketing commodity prices, BJP MLA from Dispur Atul Bora on Monday asked people to consume less amount of mustard oil in order to decrease the prices.

Once people reduce the consumption of oil and start eating boiled food, the prices will automatically come down, he said.

"At least 90% of the mustard oil in the market is adulterated. I don't consume mustard oil instead I enjoy boiled food," Bora claimed.

Last month, BJP Assam president Bhabesh Kalita said that in order to tackle the price hike in petrol, three persons can ride on a single bike or even ride bicycles.

"…..what is the need for big car? Come on cycle. Three persons can come on the same bike too. Get a license from the government," he said during a presser.

Further, he also suggested to take a walk for to the market instead of going on a vehicle.

"Sacrifices have to be made at some points. We have to focus on production. Demand has to meet supply. Otherwise, a price hike is natural. Everyone knows this logic," Kalita expressed.
