Inflation is currently the most talked-about issue nationwide. Since past few days, the Parliament has been the scene of protests against the rising inflation.
On July 28, 2022, the AAP Gujarat’s Twitter account took a jibe at Prime Minister Modi for the high LPG, petrol, and diesel costs. They said that, as compared to other nations, India has the highest LPG prices. India ranks third and eighth, respectively, in terms of petrol and diesel pricing.

India ranks 3rd and 8th in terms of expensive petrol and diesel price?
To verify the authenticity of the claim made by the AAP Gujarat twitter handle, we conducted more research and looked through a variety of facts. More than 100 nations have petrol costs that are higher than India, based on data from GlobalPetrolprices.com. Contrary to claims made by the AAP, India is nowhere near the third rank or even close to it in terms of highest petrol price. The cost of gasoline is higher in many nations, including Italy, Singapore, the United Kingdom, China, and Hong Kong.

We did our in-depth research to find if India ranks on the eighth position globally in terms of expensive petrol. Data from GlobalPetrolPrices.com revealed that, like the other two assertions, this claim is also false. The statistics shows that Zimbabwe, Finland, Israel, Norway, Switzerland, United Kingdom, Sweden, Iceland and Hong Kong has the diesel price costing more than RS 170, whereas in India the diesel cost is estimated to be around RS 93.

According to our research, the assertions made by the AAP Gujarat Twitter handle are false. LPG, petrol, and diesel are quite costly in many other nations. And India is by no means in the top 10 nations for the expensive price in petrol and diesel.
