However, he didn't let the general public benefit".
Earlier on Monday, senior Congress leader Mallikarjun Kharge also said that the issue of inflation and the rise in fuel prices will be taken up during a parliament session that is slated to begin on 19 July.
Kharge also accused the Modi government of collecting $335 billion through fuel tax but neither using the funds for public welfare nor giving it to state governments.
As per data released by the NSO,
retail inflation slipped a tad to 6.26 percent in June as compared to 6.3 percent in May 2021.
