Tharoor also took a swipe at the government by comparing the prices of food items during the current NDA rule and the UPA era. "One more difference between the UPA era & the NDA: you feel it daily!" Tharoor tweeted with the hashtag inflation. He shared a list of food items such as rice, wheat, sugar, tomato and onion with their prices in 2014 and 2022.
