Petrol for common man costs more than the Aviation Turbine Fuel used in planes, Congress said on Monday while seeking to paint the Narendra Modi government as anti-poor and questioning it for the “grave injustice”.
What is “more painful” today is the fact that the price of petrol paid by the common man is Rs 61.33 per litre as against price of aviation fuel which is Rs 52.42 per litre, Congress spokesman
Randeep Surjewala told reporters here.
Terming it as “most shocking”, he said the government is “anti-poor and anti-farmer” as he accused it of “shameless profiteering” and “betraying” the people by refusing to reduce the prices of Petrol.
“Will the BJP and Modi answer the fundamental reason for this grave injustice to the people where they pay more for fuel in ordinary scooter/motorcycle/car/tractor as compared to the Aviation Turbine Fuel used by airplanes,” he asked.
