Petrol and diesel prices are increased again on Monday, marking the fourth fuel price hike within the last 10 days, according to reports. Following the latest rise, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi criticizes the Centre, linking the repeated increases to inflation concerns. Multiple outlets report that Gandhi targets the government over what he frames as a pattern of frequent fuel cost hikes. The coverage notes that the latest adjustment comes after several recent changes to retail fuel prices over a short period, which have raised the cost of transport and day-to-day expenses for consumers. The reports agree on the timing and frequency of the hikes, describing Monday’s increase as the fourth in roughly ten days. While the outlets focus on Gandhi’s criticism, the underlying policy action described is the updated retail pricing for petrol and diesel.
