BJP loot in the name of fuel, collected taxes in crores: Rahul Gandhi | | | Agencies NEW DELHI: Congress President Rahul Gandhi on Monday accused the BJP government of "loot" in the name of "fuel" by collecting Rs ten lakh crore in taxes on petrol, LPG and diesel and not passing on the benefit of falling international crude price to the common people.
"The BJP government collected 10,00,000 crore in taxes on petrol/LPG/diesel since 2014. Yet, no relief in prices for our citizens," he said in a tweet.
Rahul shared a one minute forty two seconds long video on Twitter, saying "this video shows the truth about fuel prices under PM Modi".
The video shows that "despite international crude oil prices dropping up to 67 per cent in four years of Modi government, petrol, diesel prices are skyrocketing".
The Congress chief said that increasing prices of fuel were a symbol of the failure of the central government.
"The government that promised 'Achhe Din' is silent. Let's rewind BJP's stand on petrol-diesel prices. Increasing petrol prices are symbol of failure of central government. People are angry and it will have negative impact on other sectors."
