The Congress today attacked the Centre over the hike in petrol and diesel prices and said that the “shameless fleecing” of the public must stop. The party also announced that they will protest on March 31 against the increase in fuel prices.
“On 31st March at 11 am- people will protest outside their homes and public places with garlanded gas cylinders and beat of drums-bells, other instruments to draw the attention of the deaf BJP government against the insurmountable increase in prices of gas, petrol, and diesel,” Congress spokesperson Randeep Surjewala said today.
Taking a swipe at the BJP government, former Congress chief Rahul Gandhi said, “King prepares for a palace, while subjects reel under inflation.”
Petrol and diesel prices were hiked by 80 paise a litre each on Saturday, the fourth increase in five days as oil firms passed on to consumers the spike in the cost of raw material.
