1. How much should I increase the rate of petrol-diesel-gas
2. How to stop people's 'Kharti Pe Charcha'
3. How to show youth empty dreams of employment
4. Which government company should I sell today?
5. How to make farmers more helpless
#RozSubahKiBaat".
In Delhi, petrol now costs Rs 101.01 as against Rs 100.21 per litre previously, while diesel rose to Rs 92.27, as against Rs 91.47 per litre.
The five daily to-do lists of Modi, which he mentioned in the micro-blogging site with the hashtag 'roz subah ki baat', included ''how to show youth hollow dreams of employment."
Earlier in the day, Congress chief spokesperson Randeep Singh Surjewala slammed the Centre over the daily hike in prices of petrol and diesel and termed it as "extortion".
Attacking the ruling dispensation, Congress chief spokesperson Randeep Singh Surjewala in a tweet said, "Daily attack.. Daily extortion.. Daily exploitation.. by the Modi government on the common man's budget continues unabated! The eight increase has taken the petrol diesel price hike today to Rs 5.60 per litre."
"Is there an end date to this 'loot'? Is Prime Minister (Narendra Modi) unaccountable to people? Is there an 'answer'?" he asked.
