Aam Aadmi Party Punjab leaders have strongly criticized the recent increase in fuel prices, alleging that the government has started shifting the burden of inflation onto the public immediately after elections. They said the latest fuel price hike in India is directly impacting the financial stability of poor and middle-class households.
According to the statement, petrol and diesel prices have been increased by ₹3 per litre, while CNG prices have risen by ₹2. Leaders claimed that this sudden rise reflects a broader economic strain, stating that the fuel price hike in India is making daily commuting and essential goods more expensive for citizens.

AAP Punjab leaders also accused the government of ignoring the financial pressure on common people, saying that the timing of the price increase is unfair and burdensome. They stated that the fuel price hike in India is weakening household budgets and reducing savings for ordinary families.
They demanded immediate relief measures and a rollback of recent increases, especially to protect middle-class families, farmers, and small traders who are most affected by the fuel price hike in India.
