The country is currently going through the coronavirus crisis and the lockdown has had a major impact on business. In the midst of this crisis, the prices of petrol and diesel are being increased every day for the last ten days. On this issue, Congress President Sonia Gandhi has written a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Sonia Gandhi wrote that even in times of crisis, your government is continuously increasing prices and has earned hundreds of crores of rupees from it.
PETROL AND DIESEL PRICE INCREASED BY RS. 2.6 LAKH CRORE
Sonia Gandhi wrote in her letter that the government has raised the price of petrol and diesel by about Rs 2.6 lakh crore during the lockdown. At a time when people are in crisis, then increasing the price in this way is causing them even more trouble. In such a situation, it is the duty of the government to take out people from the crisis.
Congress President wrote that I do not understand, when the country is going to lose so many jobs and people are facing a crisis to live, then why is the government raising money like this. Today, the price of crude oil is continuously decreasing and the government has increased the price continuously in the last 6 years.
Sonia Gandhi wrote that the government has increased excise duty by 258 percent on petrol and 820 percent on diesel in the last 6 years, leading to Rs 18 lakh crore earning. Sonia Gandhi has appealed to Prime Minister Narendra Modi to immediately withdraw these increased prices and provide relief to the common people.
