Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader and Uttar Pradesh minister, Pratibha Shukla, on Sunday asked people to stop eating tomatoes and start using lemons instead amid the price hike, saying this would help bring down the prices inevitably. Her statement drew flak from opposition parties, with the Congress terming it as the BJP's admission of its failure in controlling the prices of the staple vegetable.
