Shimla, May 15
While the state unit of the BJP has condemned the steep hike in petrol price, the Congress termed it as inevitable in view of the soaring international rates of crude oil.
National general secretary of the party Birender Singh said the price of petrol were linked to the price of crude oil which had jumped. There was thus no option but to increase the price.
The BJP maintained that the increase of Rs 5 per litre was uncalled for and it was a gift from the Congress to the people after winning polls in some states.
State party Chief Khimi Ram said the Congress always promised to roll back prices during election campaigns but did the opposite after coming to power. He demanded roll back of the hike.
