Trinamool leaders take strong exception to hike in petrol and diesel prices

Kolkata, Jun 23 (UNI) As petrol and diesel prices continued to rise for the 17th consecutive day taking it to an average of Rs 80/litre across India, the Trinamool Congress leaders on Tuesday registered their protest, terming it as "daylight robbery".
Taking to twitter handle, Abhishek Banerjee, Member of Parliament, Diamond Harbour, said, " While people are facing severe economic distress during #COVID19, @narendramodi Ji decided to snatch the benefit of low crude oil prices by imposing record duty hikes. However, when it's rising again, he passes on the hardship to common man. Disgraceful! "
" And yet again, @narendramodi ji unleashes a new planned disaster on his dear countrymen. Since 2014, the duties on petrol & diesel have seen a rise of nearly 247.89% & 794.10% respectively. Yes, you read that right and no, @narendramodi Ji does not care, " commented State Higher Education Minister Partha Chatterjee.
