Gujarat Edible Oil Prices Drop Amid Election Frenzy

As polling date nears for the upcoming local body elections in Gujarat, there is good news for the middle class from the edible oil market. In the last two days, the price of 15 kg cans of groundnut has been reduced by Rs. 50. This reduction, amid rising inflation for a long time, is providing some relief to the kitchen budget. Despite record groundnut production this year, the price of groundnut continued to skyrocket. In early April, prices crossed the Rs. 3000 mark. However, the market is now soft. As Gujarat goes to vote on April 26, there is alarming news for the state's voters and politicians. Renowned meteorologist Ambalal Patel has predicted that the state will experience scorching heat on polling day. On the one hand, the heat of the election will be at its peak, and on the other hand, there will be natural calamities. Ambalal Patel's prediction has caused concern among political parties. According to Ambalal Patel, on April 26, the temperature in many parts of Saurashtra and Kutch will cross 42 degrees Celsius and the mercury in Gujarat will also rise.
