What Raghav had said about high prices of food at airports

In December last year, Raghav criticised the exorbitant prices of water, tea and snacks at airports. In his Parliamentary speech, he highlighted the plight of passengers forced to pay inflated prices for food and beverages at airports. "A water bottle costs ₹100, and tea is priced at ₹200-250. Can't the government establish affordable canteens at airports?" he had questioned.
