Priyanka Gandhi Slams Centre, Says Govt Could Have Procured Vaccines For All With Money Collected in Taxes on Fuel

New Delhi, Jun 11: Attacking the Centre, Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Friday said a lot could have been done, including procuring vaccines for all, with the money collected in taxes on petrol and diesel during the COVID-19 pandemic, but nothing was done.

Congress leaders and party workers on Friday held symbolic protests at petrol pumps in several parts of the city, demanding a complete rollback of fuel price hike.

In a tweet, Priyanka Gandhi said, "During the pandemic, Modi government collected taxes on petrol-diesel: Rs 2.74 lakh crore." COVID-19 Vaccine Shortage: Priyanka Gandhi Slams Narendra Modi Govt, Says ‘Centre Owes Answer to People’.
