New Delhi: Congress MP Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday launched a fresh attack on the Narendra Modi-led government at the Centre over the hike in the rate of Goods and Services Tax (GST) and LPG cylinder, and accused it of unleashing ‘atrocities’ on the common people.
The former Congress president said he and his party stand with the people, and will raise the issues vigorously in Parliament.
“The daily food items became expensive, and cylinder now costs Rs 1,053, but the government says ‘all is well. This shows inflation is the problem of the people, not of the government,” he wrote in a tweet in Hindi.
Attacking Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the Congress MP said, “When Narendra Modi was in Opposition, he had made inflation the biggest issue. But, now the PM is silent on this issue. The PM will have to answer.”
“We stand with the people against every atrocity being committed by the government. We will raise the issue vigorously in the House,” he said.
