Big struggle

Inflation has hit the common man. For example, price of LPG cylinder is at Rs.350 per cylinder, definitely is a price not affordable by many. The Tamil Nadu Government has been kind enough, to subsidise the cost of a cylinder. Similarly, the owners of two wheelers are suffering due to the hike in price of petrol. Out of necessity, many have to commute to office, so whether affordable or not, they become primary petrol consumers. The rise in prices of essential commodities, like edible oil and rice the staple food undoubtedly hits the common man already struggling to make both ends meet. For the moneyed, inflation makes no difference. Only the average general public faces the brunt.
