CM Mamata Banerjee Attacks Centre Over Fuel Price Rise

Amid the rise in fuel prices all over India, West Bengal Chief Minister on Thursday urged the centre to control the fuel prices and asked them to stop collecting toll-tax temporarily. She also urges central government for the extension of GST time limit for another five years.

“Increasing fuel prices are affecting the lives of people. I request the Centre to control the fuel prices and temporarily stop collecting toll-tax. I also request Central Goverment for the extension of GST time limit for another five years,” said Mamata Banerjee

She also targeted centre over the raids against the opposition leaders and claimed that government should find ways to control fuel prices instead of using the CBI and ED to harass politicians.

Earlier on Monday, Mamata Banerjee compared the economic situation of India with Sri Lanka, and said that India’s condition is worse than Sri Lanka’s.

“Fuel prices have been hiked here, instead of using agencies like the CBI and ED against opposition parties, the Centre should call an all-party meeting to resolve the ongoing economic problems,” said Mamata Banerjee.
