Amul milk became expensive as soon as the exit poll came, what was the reason behind increasing the rate?
On the evening of June 1, various agencies released their exit polls, providing a snapshot of the expected outcomes for the upcoming election results, which are due on June 4. However, as the nation eagerly awaits the results, common citizens are grappling with an unexpected financial strain. A day before the election results, the cost of living surged due to a sudden increase in essential expenses.
Amul, one of the most popular milk brands in the country, announced a price hike, making daily milk consumption more expensive for households across the nation. This increase in milk prices adds to the burden on families already dealing with rising costs of essential commodities.
In addition to this, toll taxes were also raised, impacting daily commuters and transporters. The increase in toll charges means higher travel costs for personal and commercial vehicles, potentially leading to a rise in the prices of goods transported by road. This double whammy of rising milk prices and toll taxes is likely to exacerbate the financial stress on ordinary citizens, who are already contending with inflationary pressures on various fronts.
