A political debate erupts over the government’s decision to cut petrol and diesel prices by 10 rupees each amid global fuel price increases. Congress spokesperson Gurdeep Singh Sapal alleges the government has collected 44 lakh crore rupees in fuel taxes over 11.5 years, far exceeding UPA-era collections, and questions whether prices will rise again after upcoming elections. He claims the government was ‘looting’ citizens and demands assurance against post-election price hikes. BJP spokesperson RP Singh defends the move, stating the government has spent over 120 lakh crore rupees on infrastructure in 12 years, with this year’s allocation at 12.2 lakh crore rupees. He asserts prices have not increased and accuses Congress of burdening citizens in states they govern, citing Himachal Pradesh. Political analyst Ashutosh criticises the government’s preparedness, noting India’s crude oil production shrank for six consecutive months and natural gas contracted for twenty months. Political economist Shankar Iyer warns of a prolonged global energy crisis due to damaged Gulf infrastructure, supply disruptions, and currency depreciation impacting India’s economy beyond fuel prices.
