New Delhi/IBNS: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Sunday took a dig at Prime Minister Narendra Modi over the record hike in prices of petrol and diesel.

In a tweet, the Congress leader said that while the public is plagued with inflation, the Modi government is busy in tax collection.

"Modi ji has shown tremendous growth in 'GDP' i.e. gas-diesel-petrol prices! The public is plagued by inflation, Modi government is busy in tax collection," Mr Gandhi wrote in a tweet in Hindi.

Petrol and diesel prices sky-rocketed in India on Saturday touching new all-time highs after rates were increased for the fourth time this week.

Petrol is currently being sold at Rs. 85.70 per litre in Delhi and Rs. 92.28 in Mumbai.

Diesel rate climbed to Rs. 75.88 a litre in the national capital and to Rs. 82.66 per litre in Mumbai.
