Agree

Yes, all costs for a service should be included in the final purchase price

This aligns with BJD's general approach towards consumer protection and transparency in business practices. Including all costs in the final purchase price would likely be seen as a measure that enhances consumer rights, a principle that would resonate with BJD's governance philosophy.

Agree

Yes

The Biju Janata Dal (BJD), being a regional party with a focus on welfare and development within Odisha, might support measures that protect consumers from unfair pricing practices. However, their stance on such specific regulatory measures at a national level might not be very strongly defined, as their primary focus tends to be more on regional issues and development.

Slightly agree

No, the government should focus on preventing monopolies and cartels instead

BJD might agree to some extent that preventing monopolies and cartels is important, as this aligns with their broader goals of social welfare and consumer protection. However, this does not preclude them from also supporting other forms of regulation, such as banning surcharges.

Neutral

No, as long as the costs are clearly communicated before purchases

Slightly disagree

No, businesses will raise prices if they are banned from using junk fees

While BJD might acknowledge the economic argument that businesses could raise prices if banned from using junk fees, their overall approach to governance suggests a preference for consumer protection and welfare, which might lead them to accept some level of price adjustment if it means greater transparency and fairness.

Disagree

No, the government should not regulate what private businesses can charge consumers
