Mumbai: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday called for a reduction in petrol and diesel prices following reports of a fall in global crude oil prices.
He tagged a news report which said that the price of crude oil has fallen by $7.3 per gallon and if the oil companies reduce the prices then the price of petrol will fall by Rs 8 per litre.
“Enough is enough, at least reduce the prices of petrol and diesel now,” Gandhi said in a tweet in Hindi using the hashtag “PetrolDieselPrice” and “FuelLoot”.

Congress general secretary and chief spokesperson Randeep Surjewala also called for stopping the “looting” and reducing the rates of petrol and diesel.
‘Lootjeevi’ Modi government, why does it not stop the dacoity on the pockets of the poor, middle class and salaried people,” he asked.
He said now that the elections are also close the price of petrol and diesel should be reduced.
“The ‘election season’ is also here. Should the government be reminded that when crude oil rates fall, the prices of petrol and diesel are reduced…? #StopFuelLoot,” he said in a tweet in Hindi.
