Rahul Gandhi takes swipe at PM Modi over fuel price hike
New Delhi/IBNS: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Sunday took a dig at Prime Minister Narendra Modi over the record hike in prices of petrol and diesel.
In a tweet, the Congress leader said that while the public is plagued with inflation, the Modi government is busy in tax collection.
"Modi ji has shown tremendous growth in 'GDP' i.e. gas-diesel-petrol prices! The public is plagued by inflation, Modi government is busy in tax collection," Mr Gandhi wrote in a tweet in Hindi.
मोदी जी ने ‘GDP’ यानी गैस-डीज़ल-पेट्रोल के दामों में ज़बरदस्त विकास कर दिखाया है!
