The prices of petrol and diesel have increased once again in the country on Monday (May 25). This is the fourth time within 10 days that the government has increased the prices. Meanwhile, the statement of Congress MP and Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi has come to light. He has made a scathing attack on Prime Minister Narendra and the Central Government regarding rising prices. He said that the government is silently robbing the pockets of common people by increasing the prices of fuel in installments.
Rahul Gandhi accused the government of burdening consumers by repeatedly increasing the prices of petrol and diesel after the elections. He said that as soon as the elections are over, the government has started putting the burden of inflation on the general public and fuel prices are being increased in a phased manner so that the opposition of the people can be reduced.
Attack on PM Modi
The Congress leader took a dig at the Prime Minister by posting a post on social media. He wrote that ‘Inflation Man Modi has again shown his game. He increases the prices of petrol and diesel in installments so that your pockets keep getting cut secretly.’
Inflation human attack by Modi again.
