Opp chief whip slams BJP-led NDA govt over price rise

Shillong, May 22:  Opposition Congress MLA from Mawlai Process T Sawkmie has slammed the BJP-led NDA government over the recent hike in petrol and diesel prices

“Surprisingly, inspite of complaints expressed by the people regarding the hike of petrol and diesel price, the BJP government at the centre is not paying any heed,” Sawkmie said in a statement issued here on Tuesday.

Accusing the Centre of not doing anything to curb the price rise, he said that this only shows that the government does not care about the problem faced by the people.

“It seems that the private oil companies have no respect and regard for the BJP Government at the centre,” he said.

Meanwhile, Sawkmie, who is also the opposition chief whip, also urged the Prime Minister Narendra Modi to intervene on this issue to alleviate the problem faced by the people.
