Senior NCP leader and Maharashtra cabinet minister Jitendra Awhad on 26th June questioned the silence of stars like Amitabh Bachchan and Akshay Kumar over the rising prices of petrol and diesel. Awhad recalled that the actors’ tweets in 2011 and 2012, during the UPA regime, had mocked the then rising fuel prices but they were silent now when the fuel prices were at an all-time high.
