Chidambaram draws analogy with cricket to slam rising fuel prices



“Today — unexpectedly, because I thought on the eve of Diwali, they wouldn’t do this — the government has once again announced an increase in prices. As of yesterday (Sunday) night, the prices of petrol and diesel have touched unprecedented levels. It (petrol) is Rs 115 per litre in Mumbai and Rs 120 in some places in Rajasthan like (Sri) Ganganagar. In Goa, it is Rs 106 a litre,” Chidambaram said.”And diesel is not far behind… it has also crossed hundred. Maybe the Modi govt thought that not many centuries are being scored in the cricket test matches. His government may score a century both in petrol and diesel. What they’ve done is shameful. Condemnable,” Chidambaram added.”The Modi government has decided that we are sucking blood anyway, so why should we draw blood in drops. Let us draw large quantities of blood. What they’ve done and what they are doing is squeezing every Indian citizen, rich and poor, and the poor of course suffer the most by these exorbitant, unconscionable and condemnable increase in prices,” he said, adding that there was “no economic justification” for the price rise.
