Centre Profiting Off "People's Misery": Sonia Gandhi To PM On Fuel Prices

Congress president Sonia Gandhi has written to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, expressing concerns over the rising fuel prices in the country and saying that the government has chosen to profit from "people's misery and suffering." "Fuel prices are at a historic and unsustainable high. In fact, petrol has breached the ₹ 100/litre mark in many parts of the country. The surging price of diesel has added to the escalating woes of millions of farmers," Ms Gandhi wrote in the letter, adding that these prices have been increased despite moderate prices of international crude oil.
