"Kudos to People for showing the "mirror of truth" to tax-parasitic Modi Govt! But do remember - In May 2014, Price of Petrol was Rs71.41 - Diesel was Rs 55.49/litre but Crude Oil was Rs 105.71/Barrel. Surjewala, who made a series of tweets, said that excise on petrol was Rs 9.48 per litre and that on diesel was Rs 3.56 per litre when Congress-led UPA was in power. He said excise on diesel had been brought down from Rs 31.80 per litre to Rs 21.80 per litre. Congress spokesperson Randeep Singh Surjewala said that the BJP-led government had hiked excise on petrol by Rs 32.90 and Rs five reduction announced on Wednesday had brought it down to Rs 27 per litre. Congress spokesperson Randeep Singh Surjewala accused the government of resorting to "jumlas" and asked when will petroleum prices come to the level in 2014. New Delhi, November 3 (ANI): Congress on Wednesday took a jibe at the central government, saying that the reduction in excise duty of petrol and diesel has been "tom-tommed" as a Diwali gift but it has come after BJP lost several seats in bypolls to assembly and Lok Sabha seats, whose results were announced on Tuesday.
