CAG must audit how policies benefited private firms: Congress on fuel excise duty hike under Modi govt

Jairam Ramesh highlights a significant rise in excise duties since 2014, despite a drop in crude oil prices. The party demands accountability, urging CAG to audit benefits to private companies and CVC/CBI to investigate potential collusion.
