Ayodhya, May 15 -- Samajwadi Party MP Awadhesh Prasad on Friday slammed the Centre over the rise in fuel and cooking gas prices, alleging that the increase would severely burden common citizens and reflect a broader economic failure.

Speaking on the issue, Awadhesh Prasad said the recent hike in diesel, petrol and LPG prices would directly impact households and accused the government of failing to control inflation.

"There has been a huge increase in the prices of diesel, petrol, and cooking gas. This increase will put a very heavy burden on our country's citizens. The economy has completely collapsed, and foreign policy has failed. Prices will rise further. They don't have any solution," he told ANI.
