By Archana PrasadNew Delhi [India], February 22 (ANI): Robert Vadra, businessman and son-in-law of Congress interim President Sonia Gandhi, on Monday slammed Prime Minister Narendra Modi over fuel price hike and said that he should come out from air-conditioned cars and see people's suffering.
"You (PM) must come out from A/C cars and see how people are suffering and perhaps then you would reduce fuel prices. All he does is blame others previous government for everything and move on," Vadra said while speaking to ANI.
"For everything Prime Minister blames United Progressive Alliance (UPA) and the previous government. If something goes wrong then my name will be raised. He always blames others and keeps going," he added.
"What Congress leader Rahul Gandhi said was right that they (BJP) only think about two people," he added.
"To feel the problem and pain of common people one has to come on the road" he added.
"If I have to be people's voice then first I have to ride a bicycle to feel their pain then only I can make their voice strong. We can only request Prime Minister to look into the matter," Vadra added.

They are not able to live properly.
