Replying to the question of unprecedented price hike and BJP has been claiming that it has happened due to rise of crude oil in international market, party spokesperson Surjewala said, “When price of crude oil was at $ 108 parrel in international market the price of a liter was Rs 80 in UPA regime but now the price of crude oil is in between $ 68 to 70.”
Moreover, the UPA government was charging only Rs 3 on excise duty on petrol but today BJP is charging Rs 15. While UPA was charging Rs 9 in diesel, BJP is charging Rs 19 as excise duty. BJP should reduce excise duty and bring relief to the people.”
