Rahul Gandhi criticises the Modi government after the Centre increases fuel prices across India. Multiple reports say petrol prices are raised by about Rs 3.14 per litre and diesel prices by about Rs 3.11 per litre, following revisions linked to movements in global crude oil rates. Mint adds that the increase is implemented nationwide, citing examples from New Delhi where petrol prices move from Rs 94.77 to Rs 97.77 per litre and diesel from Rs 87.67 to Rs 90.67 per litre. Gandhi’s remarks are directed at the Centre’s handling of policy decisions, with the opposition leader saying the public will effectively bear the cost of what he describes as government mistakes. The reports frame his comments as part of a broader political critique of the government’s approach to fuel pricing and expenditure impacts. Both sources connect the criticism directly to the same day’s fuel price revision and the magnitude of the increase announced for petrol and diesel.
