The government will soon curb price rise and the economy will boom under the Narendra Modi regime as investors are willing to invest in India, BJP leader Tarun Vijay said today.

"Prices will definitely stabilise. Finance Minister Arun Jaitley is working on it. The Prime Minister has also convened a special cabinet meeting on it. Price rise will be arrested very soon," said Vijay.

Costlier potato and cereals pushed up May inflation to five-month high level of 6.01 per cent, prompting the Centre to ask the states to take effective steps against speculative hoarding in the wake of weak monsoon fears.
 

He also hoped the economy would go back to high-growth trajectory as investors are willing to invest in India in building better infrastructure.

Vijay said a land acquisition policy was being considered, which would help farmers.

"We are considering a land acquisition policy which will help the farmers. Good and arable land will not be acquired. We are considering every single point, but nothing has been decided yet," he said.
