‘Out of fear’: Priyanka Gandhi on Centre’s move to slash petrol, diesel prices
Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Thursday took a jibe at the Centre, which announced a cut in levies on petrol and diesel. In a tweet, the Congress general secretary said that the decision has been taken out of fear.
“This is a decision out of fear, not from the heart. Vasooli government will get an answer for the loot in the coming elections,” she said in her tweet.
The Union government on Wednesday announced reduction in central levies on petrol by ₹5 a litre and diesel by ₹10 a litre, providing major relief to consumers amid spiralling fuel prices. The new prices are effective from Thursday – when the country is celebrating Diwali.
