MUMBAI: AICC general secretary Mallikarjun Kharge on Monday launched a frontal attack against PM Modi over his “failure” to halt spiralling prices of petroleum products and essential commodities.
“Modi owes an explanation to the nation as to what his government has done on the Rs 25 lakh crore mobilized from tax on petroleum products in the last two years. Ever since Modi took over as PM, for seven years, absolutely no steps have been taken for halting prices of essential commodities and petroleum products. We will raise these issues in the coming parliamentary session,” Kharge told a media conference. Kharge said that when Modi took charge, he had assured the people that if he was given power for five years, he would make drastic changes in all sectors and the life of the common man wuold be more comfortable. “Our contention is that Mod has failed on all fronts,” he said.
