People eating less sugar anyway due to diabetes: Bihar minister as he defends price hike

Defending the sugar price hike, minister Shravan Kumar said, "People are eating less sugar anyway. Everyone is suffering from diabetes." "Who eats sweets these days? I feel that the sugar price hike is not going to make a difference anyway. There is no need to worry," he added. The sugar price has risen from ₹48-50/kg to over ₹65/kg in Bihar.
