Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra hit out at the ruling BJP on Thursday over the rising prices of cooking gas, petrol and diesel. She also tweeted that while prices of other commodities have been rising there has been no increase in the price of sugarcane procurement from farmers in the last three years.
It was not clear if her tweet was meant for UP government or the Centre.
The central government last week increased the minimum price that the sugar mills pay to sugarcane growers by Rs 5 to Rs 290 per quintal.
