The Petrol and Diesel prices hiked again within 2 weeks. It was on 21 December 2013 that the petrol price was increased by 41 paise per litre excluding VAT. Today, 3rd January 2014, again it is raised by 75 paise. Diesel price is increased by 50 paise. This is being done on the plea of global increase in prices.
In Delhi, including the VAT, the price per litre of petrol will increase from Rs. 71.51 to Rs. 72.43 from midnight of 3-4 January.
While every time there is protest from the people against price, the UPA II government used to say that the prices will come down shortly. But for the last two-three years continuously the prices of all essential commodities have been going up with out any break.
The continuous price hike in Electricity, Petrol, Diesel, LPG etc. is making the lives of ordinary people miserable. The ruling party will certainly have to answer to this attack on the common people in the 2014 elections.
