Farmers to MSME bearing 'brunt of BJP's loot': Kharge slams Centre for fourth fuel price hike in 10 days
Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge has criticized the Indian government for implementing a fourth fuel price hike in just ten days. He claims that this increase is part of a larger pattern of financial exploitation by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) affecting farmers and small industries. The rising fuel prices are expected to further strain household budgets and contribute to inflation across the economy.
- ▪Kharge alleges that the BJP's policies have led to a financial burden on various sectors of society, including farmers and MSMEs.
- ▪The latest fuel price hike has pushed petrol prices in Delhi to ₹102.12 per litre and diesel prices to ₹95.20 per litre.
- ▪Kharge claims that the government has 'looted' ₹43 lakh crore over the past 12 years, equating to nearly ₹1,000 per day.
