CM demands petrol price hike rollback

Punjab Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal on Friday slammed the Congress-led UPA government at Centre over the hike of Rs 1.80 in petrol prices and demanded an immediate roll back.

The hike would unleash fresh inflationary trends,further jack up prices of all essential commodities and break the back of the common man, he said in a statement here.

Badal demanded immediate withdrawal of the unbearable hike which,he said,would retard the pace of economic growth.

He said that the hefty hike in the prices of petrol has exposed the anti-poor face of the Congress party which claims to be the votary of common man (Aam Adami).

He added that the inflation has already touched the double digit mark and was beyond the control of UPA government.
