AIMIM Chief Asaduddin Owaisi has made a big claim just before the results of the elections in five states including Uttar Pradesh. He has said that the prices of petrol and diesel will be increased after March 7 or March 10. The government will cite the Ukraine dispute as the reason behind this, because their people tend to leave tall talks. In an election rally, he questioned the devotees of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on the same issue whether Modi is putting petrol in his car?
According to Owaisi’s statement, “Petrol and diesel prices are skyrocketing. One thing to remember is that on the night of 7th or in the morning of 10th March you will see that the price of petrol and diesel will increase. This will increase the prices. Will say that this happened in Ukraine…Leave some too long. Pretend that this happened. But poor BJP bhakts will say “No, Modi ji did it right”.

He said, “If the war between Russia and Ukraine goes ahead, then the crisis will deepen. I am already saying that the crisis will deepen. Oil and gas… goes to most of the countries from Russia.”
Singh said, “America has also imposed a lot of sanctions on him. These are all big countries, it is natural that if there is any impact on their economy, then the whole world has to bear the brunt of it. India is no exception to that.”
