‘Wo sacche saste din’: Congress slams Centre after petrol, diesel, LPG price hike
With LPG prices rising after a freeze on hike for 168 days and petrol and diesel fares after 139 days, the Opposition on Tuesday pounded on the Narendra Modi government inside and outside Parliament, saying the rise came as the elections to five states were over.
In Rajya Sabha, Opposition MPs protested against the fuel price hike and forced an adjournment, as notices by Shaktisinh Gohil (Congress), Dola Sen (Trinamool Congress), Elamaram Kareem, John Brittas and Dr V Sivadasan (all CPI-M) to suspend the business to discuss the issue was disallowed by Chairman M Venkaiah Naidu saying that it could be raised during discussion on Demand for Grants.
