‘Loot votes, then kick where it hurts’, says TMC targets Centre over fuel price hike
Trinamool Congress leader Derek O’Brien on Friday criticised the BJP-led central government over the hike in petrol and diesel prices, alleging that first they “looted” people’s votes and “then they kick you where it hurts”.
In a post on X, the Rajya Sabha member also asked whether the BJP-led West Bengal government would now reduce Value Added Tax (VAT) on fuel since the party is also in power at the Centre and does not need not worry about funds being blocked.
