The supply and consumer department of the Nepali Congress has said that even the government consisting of the two largest parties in the country has not been able to control inflation and corruption.

Head of the department and central member Guru Baral issued a statement on Thursday and said that since the government is unable to play a role in controlling the prices, consumers everywhere have to be cheated.

He has demanded to facilitate the import of daily consumer goods and to give concessions on tax rates and to protect consumer rights. 

'Contrary to the commitments made by the two major parties to the common people when the government was established, complaints are being heard that the chain of high prices is increasing in the market, corruption-related activities have not been brought under control and the market has not been managed,' Baral said through a statement. The

department has objected to the news that the government is going to open up the business of Ayoonun to the private sector as well. "Instead of controlling the growing black market in the market, the news is coming that the government will now open up the business of salt, which is a daily essential commodity of citizens, to the private sector," Baral said, "For a long time, the government itself has been managing the supply of quality salt at a very reasonable price by systematically importing, supplying, storing and selling it. That's why 96 percent of people across the country were getting facilities.'
