Shrestha said, "I wonder if there is a government in this country or not, looking at the current rise in the price of petroleum products. People are exhausted seeing the rise in the price of petroleum products in the last seven months.”
He added, “Our neighboring country, India has reduced its tax base for its citizens due to rising petroleum prices. They have given their citizens relief. While we don’t know if our government is asleep or awake.”
