Petrol prices hit Rs. 123 per litre in district of Rajasthan

Mr. Gupta added “I met Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot in this regard and asked him if the state government can bring down petrol diesel prices on a par with that of Punjab for three months and review the impact. If positive, we can continue with the model and if not, it shall be dropped. The king of the state should give a patient listening to the problems of its men, however, here there is nothing happening in this regard. No one seems to be working in this direction,”

Earlier, Pratap Singh Khachariyawas, Food and Civil Supplies Minister said, “The BJP government at the Centre has betrayed the people of the country by increasing the price of LPG by Rs. 50 and petrol and diesel rates. People were predicting that till the completion of assembly elections in Uttarakhand, UP, Goa, Manipur and Punjab, prices of petrol, diesel and LPG will not increase. In the past five months, the BJP government did not increase the prices. After winning the elections, they increased the prices. During Congress tenure, consumers were getting subsidy on LPG, but the BJP ended it.”
