CHENNAI : Senior BJP leader Murali Manohar Joshi has criticised the Central Government for its failure to contain the prices of essential commodities. Despite the Government's claim that the growth rate would soon reach double digit, there had been a steep increase in prices and unemployment among educated youths, Mr.Joshi told The Hindu here on Saturday.
