Modi slams Opposition parties for playing politics over ‘petrol’

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday slammed Opposition parties for playing politics over petrol prices and said that the Central Government has slashed excise duty twice in two years so that it does not burn a hole in people’s pocket. “Today I want to tell the people of the country how Opposition parties are looting the pockets of poor people. For the people of the country, the central government has given relief to the people. In two years, two times the government has reduced the excise duty. But in the states where there is no BJP-led government, these Opposition parties have not transferred the benefit to the people PM Modi said in Bhopal today while addressing party workers under the BJP’s “Mera Booth Sabse Majboot” campaign.
