New Delhi, March 22 (TIWN) The Congress on Tuesday flayed the BJP-led Modi government for increasing the fuel prices, just few days after the Assembly poll results were announced on March 10.

Congress's communications in-charge Randeep Surjewala alleged that the government was befooling the public as it did not raise fuel prices only due to elections in Karnataka.

"Post deception of people of Karnataka and the country by not raising Petrol-Diesel prices for 19 continuous days to garner votes; First salvo of Petrol/Diesel enhancement is fired! How many more to be fired to fleece the pockets of ordinary people?" he asked on Twitter.

He said that people had now understood the Modi's government's game.
