Hyderabad (Telangana) [India], February 19 (ANI): Workers of the Communist Party of India (CPI) took out a protest march over rising fuel prices in Hyderabad on Friday.
"Across the country, the prices of petrol, diesel and cooking gas have been rising day after day. Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government always blames the previous government for this hike. They say that the previous government has not taken proper care of petrol prices," CPITelangana state secretary, Chada Venkat Reddy told ANI.
"I question the Centre, what have they done? Modi has been in power for the last seven years and what has he done? When the Centre said 'One Nation, One Tax', then why haven't they included petrol, diesel and cooking gas in Goods and Services Tax (GST)? In all the neighbouring countries, the prices are very affordable. Modi isn't working for the welfare and is working for wealthy corporates and oil companies," Reddy said.
