Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge on Sunday took a swipe at Prime Mi🐷nister Narendra Modi over a reported hike in prices of some essential medicines, saying he has taken "supari (contract)" to "pick pockets" of the people.
His attack came over media reports stating that 384 essential drugs and more than 1,000 formulations saw a hike o🙈f over 11 per cent effective April 1.
"Mr. Modi, You have taken ൩'supari' to pick pockets of the people," Kharge said in a tweet in Hindi.
