New Delhi/UNI: Amid surge in the prices of petrol and diesel, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi Wednesday took a dig at the Centre and wished that the Narendra Modi-led government had a 'sensitive heart' towards common people.

"It is Diwali. Inflation is at its height. It is not a joke. Wish Modi government had a sensitive heart towards the public," said the Congress MP in a tweet in Hindi, in an apparent reference to increase in fuel prices.

दिवाली है।
महंगाई चरम पर है।
व्यंग्य की बात नहीं है।

काश मोदी सरकार के पास जनता के लिए एक संवेदनशील दिल होता।
