Mumbai Congress President Bhai Jagtap on Thursday reacted on why he wrote letter to actors Amitabh Bachchan, Anupam Kher & Akshay Kumar. Jagptap said,"They've tweeted over rising fuel prices in the past, which was fair. But this time when the prices have crossed Rs 100, why are they quiet & not asking anything?."
Jagtap went on to question that Bollywood star for remaining silent on the rising fuel prices in the country. "Amitabh Bachchan in 2012, had tweeted on rising petrol prices when the price of petrol was Rs 63 per litre. Why isn't he tweeting now." he asked.
As the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) marked seven years of power at the Centre, Congress workers near the party office in Mumbai held protests against the Centre on Sunday over issues of fuel price hike and Covid-19 management.
