Many users posted tweets questioning the actor on why he is not posting such tweets now as the price of one litre petrol reached Rs. 100. On a day when petrol crossed the Rs. 100 mark, Prime minister Narendra Modi blamed the previous governments for not focussing on reducing India’s energy import dependence.

“Can a diverse and talented nation like ours be so energy import dependent?” PM Modi asked while addressing an online event to inaugurate oil and gas projects in poll-bound Tamil Nadu. “I do not want to criticise anyone but I want to say [that] had we focused on this subject much earlier, our middle-class would not be burdened,” PTI quoted PM Modi as saying. PM Modi further said it was a collective duty to work towards clean and green sources of energy as well as energy independence.

Meanwhile Finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman said that oil companies are responsible for the hike and denied government’s control over it. In a recent statement, she said “It is the oil marketing companies in India who will have to say whether they want cut it down or whether they have to go up because technically, the oil companies have been freed. Government has no control over it. It is the marketing companies which import the crude, refine it, then distribute it and put the costs for logistics and everything else”
