Amid skyrocketing fuel prices, opposition parties are slamming the Centre and have demanded an answer from PM Modi on why people are being made to pay so much when international crude oil prices are low.

Congress chief spokesperson Randeep Surjewala alleged that the government has become a "curse" for people as it has imposed high taxes on petrol and diesel.

On the other hand, PM Modi blamed the erstwhile UPA government for the current hike in fuel prices. The prime minister said that if the previous government had focused on reducing India's energy import dependence the fuel prices would not have jumped to this level.
