Mumbai: Petrol and diesel prices have shot up exponentially in the last few days. BJP has been facing a lot of criticism for this sudden surge in prices after the 19-day Karnataka poll hiatus. Common man has been the worst sufferer.
However, right now, the one suffering from it is Bollywood’s Khiladi, Akshay Kumar. In 2012, when the fuel prices rose under the Congress government, he tweeted his displeasure but deleted it recently. He wrote: “Guys, I think it’s time to clean up your bicycles and hit the road! As per sources, expecting another petrol price hi..”
He received flak for deleting his tweet.
I’m surprised why is nobody talking about the record high prices of Petrol & Diesel ?? Had this been happening under Congress, .. ahh never mind !! And look who deleted his old tweet from 2012 abt the petrol price hike, Mr @akshaykumar ? !! God damn Chamchas ! #FuelPriceHike

Akshay, however, he hasn’t yet deleted other similar tweets.
When I saw Rs. 62 trending, I thought it must be either the reduced petrol price or some new scam of Rs. 62 crores but… http://t.co/tJBnnZwG

Another Twitter user, Sanjeev Sharma, also slammed Amitabh Bachchan, Ashok Pandit, Vivek Agnihotri, Akshay Kumar and Anupam Kher over their old tweets on fuel price hike. Someone else joined him, too.
The price of petrol and diesel in the Modi government is skyrocketing, inflation is at its peak level,
Before 2014, Amitabh, Ashok Pandit, Vivek Agnihotri, Akshay Kumar and Anupam Kher, who oppose rising prices of petrol and diesel, why silent? #FuelLootBySuitBoot @IYC pic.twitter.com/aL6CyLmvYz
