New Delhi/IBNS: Responding to a social media post where a user sought relief for the middle class, Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman has said the Narendra Modi government listens to people's voices.

The user, Tushar Sharma, made the request in response to an online post by the minister.

Sharing his post, Sitharaman wrote that his input is valuable and that the government listens to people's voices.

In his X post, Tushar Sharma said he understands the challenges involved, and made a "heartfelt request" that the minister consider providing some relief to the middle class.

"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.
