Manoj Jha: Fuel Hikes Hit Every Sector, Govt Ignores Public Woes
1 min readPetrol and diesel price escalations have ignited fierce opposition fire, with RJD MP Manoj Jha decrying their pervasive fallout amid PM Modi’s foreign engagements and southern state developments.
In an IANS interview, Jha dissected the crisis: ‘Rising fuel costs permeate every sector—from logistics to household budgets—burdening ordinary Indians relentlessly.’ He lambasted the Centre for election-focused governance at the expense of民生 hardships.
Jha pointed to the symbolic disconnect: ‘Prices rise, and simultaneously, the PM embarks abroad—what a telling juxtaposition.’
On a positive note, he lauded Kerala’s UDF victory and VD Satheesan’s CM projection. ‘This strategic move, after due deliberation, sets Kerala on a stronger path. Best wishes to him,’ Jha conveyed.
Congress’ Imran Masood didn’t hold back on fuel woes: ‘Rs 20 more incoming—brace for ongoing hits.’ Defending Karnataka’s hijab ban revocation, he asserted, ‘Veiling is woven into India’s cultural fabric; it’s no mere Urdu import.’
The chorus of dissent highlights systemic economic pressures, from inflation to policy reversals. With opposition rallying, the government faces mounting calls for respite and reform in these turbulent times.
