Shimla: The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government in Himachal Pradesh Friday criticised the central government for the increase in petrol prices and demanded immediate rollback of the hike.
“The rise in petrol prices has direct bearing on essential commodities and needs of the common man. The UPA (United Progressive Alliance) government should withdraw the hike,” a statement quoting Chief Minister Prem Kumar Dhumal said.
Petrol prices were hiked Thursday, for the 10th time since June 2010, by Rs.3.14 a litre from Friday. “The decision to hike the prices is anti-people,” Dhumal added.
