Normally I wouldnt get into such comparisons, because there is a natural rate of inflation, which causes prices to increase on a natural curve, and its difficult to dispute that.
But there are a couple of glaring facts of the past few years, that need to be taken into account.
1) Increase in GST, which is a burden on the common man, not rich and famous.
2) Drastic reduction in oil prices, which have not properly been passed on to the common man. The tax component of the oil price remains high enough for retailers to be essentially unable to reduce prices of commodities accordingly.
This is Daronomics for you.
