As Petrol prices surged over Rs 100 in two states on Wednesday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi blamed his predecessors for the skyrocketing fuel prices. If the previous governments had focussed on reducing the country’s energy import dependence, the middle class would not have been this burdened today, Pm Modi claimed, PTI reported.
While addressing an online event to inaugurate oil and gas projects in poll-bound Tamil Nadu, the Prime Minister asked: “Can a diverse and talented nation like ours be so energy import dependent?” “I do not want to criticise anyone but I want to say, had we focused on this subject much earlier, our middle-class would not be burdened.” In this episode of the Editorial, our Managing Editor Mr Sujit Nair shares his take on the matter.
