"We are lower in inflation than the US and Europe. When the US and Europe were around just two per cent, in the UPA's time inflation was around 12 per cent. We have controlled inflation and did what UPA could not," Jayant Sinha asserted.
BJP leader and former minister of state for finance Jayant Sinha on Monday asserted that there is no 'mehengai' (inflation) and the Opposition has been looking for it but is unable to find it.
