NEW DELHI: Senior Congress leader P Chidambaram on Monday took a dig at the Government for raising fuel prices, saying it is poor and needs more taxes while the poor and middle class will continue to pay.
“Fuel selling prices raised twice in two days, following tax hikes two weeks ago. This time to benefit oil companies.
“Government is poor, it needs more taxes. Oil companies are poor, they need better prices. Only the poor and middle class are not poor, so they will pay,” he said on Twitter.
Petrol and diesel prices were hiked by 60 paise per litre each on Monday for the second day in a row as state-owned oil firms reverted to daily price revisions after a hiatus of almost three months. (AGENCIES)
