‘Vasooli shuru’, says Congress on fuel price hike; BJP credits PM Modi for ‘saving people from harm’

Fuel prices in India have been increased by state-run oil marketing companies. The hike has sparked reactions from the public and political leaders, with some criticising the increase and others saying it was necessitated by global economic unrest. Congress has launched a scathing attack on the Centre, stating that the fuel price hike is a result of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's policies. BJP, however, credits PM Modi for minimising the impact of fuel price increase on the public.
