Rahul Gandhi Launches Sharp Attack on Modi Government Over Fuel Price Hike
Congress leader alleges public is being made to bear cost of policy failures amid rising fuel prices
The Impressive TimesNew Delhi May 15 2026: Congress leader and Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi has launched a sharp criticism of Prime Minister Narendra Modi over recent increases in petrol and diesel prices, saying that ordinary citizens will end up paying the price for what he described as the government’s policy mistakes.
Reacting to the latest fuel price revision, Gandhi said the burden of rising costs is being shifted directly onto the public. He argued that instead of providing relief in a period of economic pressure, the government’s decisions are increasing financial strain on households across the country.
His remarks come amid ongoing political debate over fuel pricing, with opposition leaders accusing the Centre of timing price changes after elections and failing to control inflationary pressures. Gandhi has repeatedly targeted the government on issues related to fuel, LPG, and overall cost of living, claiming that economic policies are worsening conditions for common citizens.
The criticism also follows broader opposition attacks on the government’s handling of inflation and energy costs, with fuel price movements becoming a key flashpoint in national political discussions.
