Petrol, diesel price hike: AAP blames Narendra Modi government, says people are feeling cheated
Ferozepur, July 19, 2021: The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Monday hit out at the BJP-led central government for the price hike in petrol and diesel, by tagging the car with the bullock cart, saying it adversely affected the livelihood of the common man.
Later, the AAP leaders protested in front of the DC office and submitted a memorandum to the DC Ferozepur in the name of PM Modi.
Kanwaljeet Singh District President, Kissan Wing, AAP said, the people of the country felt ‘cheated by the Narendra Modi government in the wake of the increased prices of petrol and diesel. In the recent past, the petrol and diesel prices have been increased 35 times.
Balraj Singh Katora, Vice President, Jagir Singh Grewal, Secretary, and Malkeet Think we’re also present.
The prices of petrol on Monday stood at Rs.103.00 per litre in Ferozepur while the price of diesel touched a high of Rs.92 per litre, said
“The Modi government is responsible for the inflation all around. From fruits and vegetables to petrol and diesel — everything is severely affected by the daily price hikes,” he added.
Despite a fall in the price of crude oil in the international market, the fuel prices were going up in the country, because the BJP government had increased the excise duty and taxes on petroleum products, alleged the AAP leaders.
