"Election relief over, inflation's heat is on its way! After April 29th, watch out – petrol, diesel, everything will get expensive. When oil was cheap, the Modi government pocketed the profits. Now that it's expensive, it'll dump the burden on you. A government that loots when it's cheap – leaving the public to bear the brunt of inflation," he said in a post on X.
