A fresh political showdown has erupted over rising fuel prices after CNG rates in Delhi were increased again within just two days. The Congress has attacked the Modi government, blaming it for failing to shield citizens from the impact of the Middle East conflict and rising global oil prices. BJP leaders hit back, accusing Rahul Gandhi of spreading misinformation and claiming India has seen one of the lowest fuel price increases globally despite the ongoing energy crisis. The debate has now intensified over inflation and economic management.
