As the Madhya Pradesh political fiasco continues Rahul Gandhi broke his silence on the ongoing debacle. The Congress leader blamed Prime Minister Narendra Modi for the situation, Rahul took to his Twitter account and wrote, “Hey @PMOIndia , while you were busy destabilising an elected Congress Govt, you may have missed noticing the 35% crash in global oil prices. Could you please pass on the benefit to Indians by slashing #petrol prices to under 60₹ per litre? Will help boost the stalled economy.
Petrol prices per litre in Delhi on Wednesday went down by Rs 2.69 at Rs 70.29, marking the cheapest fuel rates in about eight to nine months. Similarly, the price of diesel has also been slashed at Rs 63.01, down by Rs 2.33.

However, a veiled response to what is happening in Madhya Pradesh is what caught the eye in Rahul’s tweet. While a section is blaming the Congress for failing to retain Jyotiraditya Scindia, another section inside the Congress is washing its hands off the controversy, saying Scindia was never sidelined in the party — not in Madhya Pradesh either. After Scindia sent his resignation letter to Congress interim president Sonia Gandhi, the Congress announced its decision to expel Scindia. This is the first official reaction from the High Command, which evidently put the onus on BJP and PM Modi.
