Rahul flags Centre’s ‘tax collection epidemic’ as petrol crosses ₹100/litre
As the retail price of petrol crossed ₹100 in several cities, former Congress president Rahul Gandhi on Monday called it a ‘tax collection epidemic’ by the Central government. “The process of unlocking has started in many States. While paying the bill at the petrol pump, you will see the growth in inflation by the Modi government. The waves of tax collection epidemic are coming continuously,” Mr. Gandhi tweeted in Hindi. His colleague and party general secretary Randeep Surjewala also termed the rise in petrol prices as an ‘excessive public loot’ and blamed the Modi government for it.More Related News
