Sivakasi The BJP that came to power criticising the Congress-led United Progressive Alliance government at the Centre for ‘high’ fuel prices, was now fleecing the common man with exorbitant prices of fuel despite decline in international crude oil price, said Sivakasi MLA G. Ashokan on Friday. After staging a protest in front of a petrol bunk in Sivakasi, Congress MLA said that when crude oil price was $130 a barrel under the UPA regime, the prices of petrol and diesel were ₹71 and ₹58 per litre respectively. Under the BJP rule the price of petrol rose to ₹85 a litre when the crude oil price was $30 and has now touched ₹100 a litre when crude oil price was priced at $55.More Related News
