Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Monday lashed at the Modi government over the hike in fuel prices. He accused BJP government of emptying the pockets of the common man and filling the pockets of its friends for free.
Accusing the Centre of looting people by imposing high taxes on petrol and diesel, Congress demanded its rollback to provide relief to the common man from the onslaught of rising prices.
Taking to Twitter, he said, "When you see the fast moving meter while filling fuel in your car at the petrol pump, do remember that the crude oil rates have not risen but fallen"
