Rahul Gandhi targets Modi government on rising prices of petrol and diesel

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Monday targeted the BJP-led government at the Center over the rising prices of petrol and diesel and accused them of forcibly withdrawing money from the pockets of the people to run the government. Talking to the girl students of the Autonomous Women’s College St. Teresa here, Gandhi blamed the mismanagement of the government for the condition of the economy.

The former Congress president Rahul Gandhi, who arrived in Kerala for campaigning, said, “The problem will continue for some more time, because mismanagement is much greater and deeper.” He said that giving more money in the hands of the people is the only way to get out of this crisis. , But the government is not listening and saying, produce more. ”

Asked about the increase in the price of petrol and decal in the international market, despite the decrease in the prices of crude oil, Rahul Gandhi said, “We believe that the way to start the economy is to start consuming.” By giving money to people, they will start consuming cheetahs and buying goods. “He said,” Demonetisation and GST have caused a lot of damage to the economy. It was weaker than before. Subsequently, when the Kovid-19 pandemic came, the economy collapsed completely. “

Rahul Gandhi said, ‘The government does not have money because the economy is not running. They are unable to raise taxes and money. So they are now forcibly taking money out of your pocket – for petrol and diesel – and trying to run the government. “He said it is imperative for the economy to work in order for the economy to work. The Congress leader said, ‘You need harmony, peace, and peace and you need a strategy. This is why there is a problem. “
