They are doing an internal adjustment between the oil companies and the Govt. The consumers are not going to be benefited by this. So, how is this a big, big step? Can you kindly explain?


Over the last 11 years, the Modi-led Union Government has filled its coffers with ₹43 lakh crore through repeated hikes in petrol and diesel prices, collecting over ₹1,000 crore every day in taxes. This relentless increase has made life increasingly difficult for common people, yet the BJP government remains engrossed in power and silent about the hardships faced by citizens. Today at the KPCC office, I addressed the media in a joint press conference along with AICC General Secretary Shri @rssurjewala and Hon’ble Chief Minister Shri @siddaramaiah to raise this serious issue. We are asking the Centre a simple question. Where is this money going? Despite such massive tax collection, people in our state are not even receiving an adequate supply of cooking gas. This only reflects the continued neglect of South India by the Union Government. Instead of responding to people’s distress, the Centre seems more interested in putting up its photographs at petrol pumps for publicity. During the UPA government, petrol was ₹71 and diesel was ₹56. Today, both have crossed the ₹100 mark. We urge the BJP-led Union Government to explain this sharp rise in fuel prices and why this burden continues to be placed on ordinary citizens.










This petrol pump in Surat has an insanely long queue.
