New Delhi: Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge hit out at the Union government on Thursday for not reducing the prices of petrol and diesel even when crude oil prices were falling globally, saying that there is 'no control on the looting' of Centre.

In a post on X, the Congress chief claimed that oil companies in the country are earning Rs8 to Rs10 profit from the public on every litre of petrol and Rs3 to Rs4 profit on diesel.

"Crude oil prices are falling, but there is no control on the looting of the Modi government. Modi ji's ministers themselves are saying that 'there has been no talk with oil companies about reducing prices'. Oil companies are earning Rs 8 to Rs 10 profit from the public on every litre of petrol and Rs 3 to Rs 4 profit on diesel," he said in his post in Hindi.

Kharge also put out a chart, which said crude oil has reduced by 31 per cent in 19 months but the Minister says there will be no reduction in the prices of petrol and diesel.

"The country is looking for an account of lowest 'public savings' in 50 years, ...in BJP's false speeches of 'Acche Din' and their hollow advertisements," Kharge added. (with ANI inputs)
