"We deeply appreciate your efforts and contributions to the country, and you have our utmost admiration. I humbly request you to consider providing some relief for the middle class. I understand the immense challenges involved, but it's just a heartfelt request," read Sharma's post.
His request was in response to a post by Sitharaman, in which she had shared verses composed by a member of the erstwhile Royal Family of Travancore, published in The Sunday Guardian.
The request came at a time when retail inflation in India was recorded at 6.21% last month, breaching the Reserve Bank of India's upper tolerance level. Food inflation was at 10.87% last month from 9.24% in September, according to National Statistics Office data, which has become a major concern for the middle classes.
