Punjab Congress President and Ludhiana MP Raja Warring led a major protest in Chandigarh against the steadily rising prices of sugar and the growing burden of inflation on ordinary households. The protest highlighted the increasing cost of essential commodities and the additional pressure it is placing on household budgets. As a symbolic message, Congress workers served tea without sugar during the protest to underline how even everyday household essentials are becoming increasingly unaffordable for common families. Raja Warring questioned the economic policies of the Modi government and raised concerns over the sharp rise in sugar prices, government decisions relating to sugar exports and ethanol production, and the wider impact of the E20 ethanol-blending policy. Senior Congress leaders, district presidents and party workers joined Raja Warring during the protest in Chandigarh.
