Fuel including petrol, diesel and gas will go out of the reach of common people sooner than later in the wake of skyrocketing crude oil price following Ukraine crisis as the ''inept'' Narendra Modi government at the Centre and the Jagan Mohan Reddy government in the State remained indifferent to the plight of the commoners, according to senior Congress leader Dr. Chinta Mohan.
Addressing the media at Naidupeta in the district on Saturday, the former Union Minister said both governments remained a mute spectator without intervening to provide some relief to the people who would be saddled with additional burden due to the petrol and diesel prices crossing ₹120 per litre and cooking gas refill going past ₹1,500 mark. Both governments should come to the rescue of people by slashing the tax component on fuel, he said.
