"The kind of language used by Jairam Ramesh and Anand Sharma in questioning the EC's decision is a clear indication that the Congress is not bothered about the adverse impact the doubling of gas prices will have on the lives of people...," AAP said in a press release.
It said that the attack on the EC by two Union Ministers proved beyond doubt that the Congress heart beats for Reliance Industries and not for the people of this country.
AAP accused Congress-led UPA government of promoting "crony capitalism," while stating that the two ministers have made an unsuccessful attempt to "defend an indefensible decision".
"The use of language by these ministers that the EC is functioning like a parallel government and that it had extended its mandate, only shows that the Congress seems to have forgotten that their tenure is all but over and the people of the country are set to elect a new government in less than two months," AAP said.
"The Congress appears to have altered its slogans to please the big corporates like the RIL and seems ready to embrace - Congress ka Haath Ambani ke saath.
"The AAP will continue its efforts to expose the unholy nexus between the Congress and the RIL, the only aim of which was to ruin the lives of the people by imposing the burden of price rise on them, the statement added.
