Irked by questions on soaring fuel prices, BJP leader tells reporters to ‘go to Afghanistan’

Ramratan Payal, BJP president for the district of Katni in Madhya Pradesh, told reporters to take a hike to Afghanistan when questioned about inflation and rising fuel prices.

After Pakistan, BJP leaders seem to have found a new favourite destination for their detractors -- Afghanistan under Taliban rule. Ramratan Payal, BJP president for the district of Katni in Madhya Pradesh, told reporters to take a hike to Afghanistan when questioned about inflation and rising fuel prices. “Go to Afghanistan. Petrol is Rs 50 per litre there. Go and get your fill there, not a single person is left there to fill petrol. At least there is security here,” said Ramratan Payal.
