Ahmedabad, 23 May 2012

Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi today hit hard on his twitter at the Congress-ruled Centre’s utter failure to control inflation, as demonstrated by its inflicting an unprecedented hike in the price of an essential commodity like petrol.

Mr. Modi described the failure as all the more unpardonable as the hike was announced within 24 hours of the adjournment of the Parliamentary session. It is a great insult to Parliamentary system of democracy. People would not forgive the Congress-ruled government at the Centre, he said.
