CAG must audit how policies benefited private firms: Congress on fuel excise duty hike under Modi government

New Delhi, 13/4: Accusing the government of “looting” people by increasing excise duty on petrol and diesel, the Congress on Sunday called for fixing accountability and demanded that the CAG should audit how government policies benefited private companies.

The Opposition party also demanded that the Central Vigilance Commission (CVC) and Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) should investigate whether there was deliberate negligence or collusion in this.
