The BJP slammed the UPA Government for its decision to hike fuel prices, saying “a directionless UPA has unleashed economic terror on the nation”. “The UPA Government’s anti-aam aadmi character has been starkly exposed yet again,” Leader of the Opposition L K Advani said here in a statement.The party said that the decision to hike fuel prices was yet another act of insensitivity and betrayal by an “already unpopular” Government. “The poor and the middle class have been reeling under the burden of unprecedented rise in prices of all essential goods, caused by economy’s mismanagement by the Government,” he said. “And now, the Government has taken a decision that is bound to have a cascading effect on prices. This will further impoverish crores of ordinary Indian families,” he added.BJP Deputy Leader in Lok Sabha V K Malhotra said the party would raise the issue in Parliament when it meets for the Monsoon session.
