Petrol and diesel prices have also zoomed, as Modi government rakes in over Rs.3.73 lakh crore as tax.

The Central government continues to squeeze millions of Indians by relentlessly raising the prices of essential fuels, such as cooking gas and petrol/diesel. In the past one year, the price of a standard 14.2 kg cylinder of cooking gas (LPG) has been hiked by an incredible Rs.301.75, from Rs.604.63 (average of four metros) in October 2020 to Rs.906.38 in October 2021. These are prices for Indane, as recorded at the Indian Oil Corporation Limited (IOCL) website.
