New Delhi: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi once again came attacking the union government on Tuesday. The Congress MP came down heavily on the union government over tax on petroleum fuels and asked, ‘is it a government or a greedy moneylender from old Hindi films’.
‘On one hand, they are provoking people to take loans, on the other hand, they are earning indiscriminately through tax extortion. Is it a government or a greedy moneylender from old Hindi films?’, tweeted Rahul Gandhi sharing news that the government earned Rs 3.35 lakh crore through the tax on fuels.
