Congress leader and LoP in Rajya Sabha Mallikarjun Kharge protesting outside Parliament House: “By increasing fuel prices Modi govt is making money worth Rs 10,000 crore by plundering the poor. Many say prices are rising due to Ukraine-Russia crisis, but as per Petroleum Ministry, we didn’t buy 1% of crude oil from Russia.”
Cong leader Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury: “We said that there’ll be an exorbitant rise in fuel prices post the Assembly elections, we’ve been proven right. Modi govt is not at all reluctant to loot the poor. We’ll stand against this for common people both outside and inside the Lok sabha.”
