Saaf Niyat, Sahi Vikas. Rahul Expresses Shock and Disgust At The 1 Paisa Cut In Fuel Prices

Congress president Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday expressed his shock as the fuel prices were cut by 1 paisa saying if it is PM Narendra Modi’s idea of a prank, then it is in “poor taste”.

Dear PM,

You’ve cut the price of Petrol and Diesel today by 1 paisa. ONE paisa!??

If this is your idea of a prank, it’s childish and in poor taste.

P.S. A ONE paisa cut is not a suitable response to the #FuelChallenge I threw you last week. https://t.co/u7xzbUUjDS

Indian Oil clarified that the fuel prices are cut down by a mere 1 paisa after their website showed the prices slashed by 60 paise earlier in the day. This means there is no respite for the common man in spite of the fact that Russia and the oil cartel agreed to increase supplies leading to global crude prices easing off considerably.

According to the Indian Oil Corporation website, petrol is now priced at ₹69.3 in Delhi, Rs ₹70.49 in Bengaluru and ₹ 73.78 in Mumbai; down by Re 1 everywhere. The prices went down by 0.1 per cent.

Even the prices of diesel which were first reported to be cut by 56 paise today, now stand revised to just 1 paise less than yesterday’s levels.

The prices of petrol in other parts of the country are as follows:

The glitch on Indian Oil website simply rubbed salt on the wound of people across the country as the government is not taking any measure to slash prices.

The fact that PM Modi is abroad for another trip in such times also did not go down well with many people.

#BharatBachao #PetrolPrice NDA Gov losing the plot. Reducing petrol/diesel price by “1 paisa” adds insult to injury. PM Modi seen strolling in Indonesia & flying kites. Moral: as econ issues push common man, theatrical acts abroad are counter-productive.

Petrol and Diesel prices reduced by 1 paisa each. But fucking libtards will still cry ki Modi ji kuchh nahin kar rahe.

Life ho to Modi jaisi! Off to foreign locations again. Fuel prices hiked for 16th day in a row. Petrol price about to touch Rs 80 in Delhi. But PM is jet-setting. Don't expect any criticism from lapdogs in my fraternity. #Operation136
