Under UPA when crude oil price reached a high of 147 dollars per barrel in May 2008, petrol price in Delhi was around Rs. 50 per litre. On Feb. 1 this year, crude oil price was 56 dollars per barrel and petrol price was Rs. 86.30 per litre. Already in Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh, petrol price has exceeded Rs. 100 per litre. How did UPA achieve this ‘miracle’? Or did PM Modi choose to ‘profiteer at people’s misery and suffering’ as claimed by Sonia Gandhi in her letter protesting against high fuel prices?
