Former Karnataka Chief Minister
Siddaramaiah on Tuesday slammed the Centre for levying heavy excise duty on petrol and diesel which has fuelled the prices of essential commodities. Taking a dig at Prime Minister Narendra Modi for blaming the previous government for rise in fuel prices as it failed to make India self-reliant, Siddaramaiah said, You have been in power for the past seven years.Why could you not make India self-reliant in fuel? The Prime Minister had promised bringing Achche Din but failed to live up to the promise, the leader of the opposition said in the Karnataka assembly. While the struggle for existence has aggravated with people rendering jobless, prices of essential commodities have skyrocketed due to fuel prices, the Congress veteran said.
