Taking their protest against the spiked prices of tomatoes to a whole new level, the Congress party leaders in Lucknow opened ‘State Bank of Tomato’ on Thursday.
Members of the Congress party in Lucknow gave some thought to their brains and came up with the idea of opening ‘State Bank of Tomato’ to protest against the rising tomato prices. The bank offers attractive schemes like 5 times return within six months on tomatoes deposited, lockers for tomatoes, 80 per cent loans on tomatoes, attractive interest rates for depositing tomatoes etc.
Almost like a staged parody of how a normal money bank works, the ‘tomato bank’ will operate from 10am to 5pm, and will give loans on the deposits of tomatoes.
Unless you have been underground for last month, you would know that the prices of tomatoes have been highly inflated. As per the data released by consumer affairs ministry, tomato price in metros range from Rs 60-100/kg. The ministry is optimistic that the prices may come down in a fortnight.
