Tomato, a key ingredient, has seen a steep rise in price in the recent days. In some places across the country, it is even being sold at over ₹100 per kg as opposed to a much lower price in which it is usually available. Many are showing their dissatisfaction at this price rise by sharing their reactions on Twitter – so much so that the hashtag #TomatoPrice is trending. However, it has also turned into a golden opportunity for meme makers to share some rib-tickling posts on the topic.
