New Delhi, March 5
Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi took a swipe at the Narendra Modi government over possible fuel price hike after assembly polls and asked people to get their petrol tanks filled as he said the “election offer” will end soon.
On Saturday, the Congress leader took to Twitter to take a dig at the central government as campaigning for the last phase of assembly polls in five states ended today. The last and current phase of the assembly elections in five states, including Uttar Pradesh, will conclude on March 7. The counting of votes will take place on March 10.
“Quickly get your petrol tanks full. The ‘Election’ offer of the Modi government is going to end soon,” Gandhi said in a tweet in Hindi. He also posted a picture of a petrol pump saying “Hike” and “Coming back soon to fuel stations near you”.
The Congress has been accusing the BJP government of stalling the hike in fuel prices during elections and raising the prices soon after the polls are over. It had staged demonstration in many states against the fuel price hike.
