New Delhi: Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi on Wednesday slammed the Centre for the “poor shape of economy” and also lambasted the state government in Uttar Pradesh for increasing the value-added tax  (VAT) on petrol and diesel.  Gandhi took to Twitter and shared two advertisements by the Northern India Textile Mills Association the Indian Tea Association titled 'Indian Spinning Industry Facing Biggest Crisis, Resulting in Huge Job Losses' and 'Tea Industry in Crisis', respectively. "These advertisements are revealing the reality of the BJP government's claims about the economy. Till now industrial organisations used to advertise that we are moving forward. In the BJP rule, many have to advertise and say that we are drowning, save us. The rest you can understand," she said in Hindi. In a separate tweet, she attacked the UP government saying the "BJP has put the burden of its collapsed and corrupt policies on the people". She accused the BJP of picking the people's pocket by increasing prices of petrol and diesel. The UP government has increased the VAT on petrol and diesel on Monday midnight.

ये विज्ञापन अर्थव्यवस्था के बारे में भाजपा सरकार के दावों की असलियत की पोल खोल रहे हैं।

अभी तक औद्योगिक संस्थाएँ विज्ञापन देती थीं कि हम आगे बढ़ रहे हैं। भाजपा सरकार के शासन में कईयों को विज्ञापन देकर कहना पड़ रहा है कि हम डूब रहे हैं, हमें बचाओ। बाकी आप समझ सकते हैं! pic.twitter.com/oTFt3g5bC9 — Priyanka Gandhi Vadra (@priyankagandhi) August 21, 2019

भाजपा ने अपनी चौपट और भ्रष्ट नीतियों का बोझ जनता पर डाला है। पेट्रोल और डीजल के दाम बढ़ाकर जनता की जेब काटना हमें कतई मंजूर नहीं।

उत्तर प्रदेश कांग्रेस की हुंकार बढ़े हुए दाम वापस लो।#BJPFuelLoot pic.twitter.com/OOgJuIST8x — Priyanka Gandhi Vadra (@priyankagandhi) August 21, 2019
