Capt hits back at Sukhbir: First ask Centre to roll back fuel price hikes

Asking the SAD chief to stop “parroting the lines of his political masters in the Bharatiya Janata Party“, Chief Minister Amarinder Singh on Wednesday dared Sukhbir Badal to quit the ruling coalition at the Centre before resorting to street protests against the state government’s decision on VAT hike on fuel.

Reacting to the protests led by Sukhbir against the VAT hike, in a statement , the CM said that with social distancing norms thrown to the winds, the SAD chief instead of putting the lives of Punjab’s people to risk with his politically motivated acts, should exert pressure on the Central government to roll back the manifold increase in petrol and diesel prices since the beginning of Unlock 1.0 in the country.
