BADAL SLAMS CONGRESS FOR PETROL PRICE HIKE

Posted on Monday, 19 September 2011 by Punjabi Articles


Punjab Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal slammed the Congress led UPA government at Centre over totally unjustified and back breaking hike of Rs 3.14 per liter in the price of petrol.

In a statement here, Mr Badal demanded immediate withdrawal of the ‘oil shock’. He said that the totally unwarranted hike in petrol prices would not only break the back of the already suffering common man but would also unleash new frightening inflationary trends which in turn would dampen the economy and further slow down the growth rate.

He said that the petrol price in India was already amongst the highest in the world despite alarming poverty amongst the masses.
