New Delhi : Accusing the government of being insensitive to the sufferings of the common man, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Sushma Swaraj Saturday slammed it for hiking the prices of diesel, kerosene and LPG.
“This is the 10th hike in the prices of petroleum products. Congress government came to power on the slogan ‘Congress ka haath aam adami ke saath’, but this is what the common man has got,” said the leader of opposition in the Lok Sabha.
“The government is totally insensitive to the sufferings of the common man. The victims are housewives, farmers and poorest of the poor,” she added.
The BJP staged its protest at Jantar Mantar against the government’s hike on fuel prices.
The government Friday hiked the price of diesel by Rs.3 per litre, kerosene by Rs.2 a litre, and LPG by Rs.50 per cylinder.
