As fuel prices touched a five-year high, former Finance Minister P
Chidambaram on Friday asked the government why prices of petrol and
diesel were higher than in May, 2014 when the international oil prices
were higher than they are now.
In a series of tweets, he said the government was clueless and floundering on the issue.
"Crude
oil price at US $ 74 per barrel is still lower than US $ 105 four years
ago. So, why are Petrol/Diesel prices higher today than they were in
May 2014? For the last four years, the BJP government has lived off an
oil bonanza. Minus the oil bonanza, the BJP government is clueless and
floundering," he said in his tweets
He also said "BJP boasts that
it is ruling 22 States. Then, why does the BJP government refuse to
bring petroleum and petroleum products under GST? Even a school child
knows the answer. It is because of the 'Tax the Consumer' policy of the
BJP government."
