Crude Oil Dips, but No Relief for Citizens: Congress President Slams Modi's Inaction
New Delhi, 4 January, 24: In a recent social media post, Mallikarjun, Congress President, expressed concern over the relentless rise in crude oil prices, highlighting the government's alleged indifference towards the escalating burden on the public.
"Crude oil prices are plummeting, but the Modi government shows no restraint in its plunder," lamented Mallikarjun.
Even as citizens grapple with soaring fuel costs, government officials seem to dismiss the predicament. Ministers from the Modi cabinet have been quoted stating, "There have been no discussions about reducing prices with oil companies."
Oil companies continue to reap substantial profits, pocketing an additional profit margin of ₹8 to ₹10 per liter on petrol and ₹3 to ₹4 per liter on diesel. The public, burdened by the steepest savings downturn in 50 years, questions the authenticity of BJP's promise of 'good days.'
Contrary to the government's claims, the ground reality exposes the widening gap between the ruling party's rhetoric and the people's lived experiences. Mallikarjun underscores the stark contradiction between the BJP's hollow assurances and the harsh economic realities faced by the public.
As the country witnesses the least savings in 50 years, citizens remain skeptical about the BJP's "Achhe Din" promises, raising questions about the authenticity of the government's claims in the face of the current economic challenges. The nation searches for respite as the cost of living continues to surge, and the government's response remains uncertain.
In a period of 19 months, the cost of living has witnessed a staggering 31% increase, leaving citizens to grapple with the economic fallout. However, government officials remain firm in their stance, asserting that there will be no reduction in the prices of petrol and diesel. The nation watches closely as the fuel price saga unfolds against the backdrop of economic uncertainties.
