Centre’s Decision On Petrol, Diesel Price Hike “Anti-People”: AAP

AAP’s Ashutosh pointed out that this hike will also lead to increased prices of other essential commodities.

The Aam Aadmi Party termed the Centre’s decision to increase the prices of petrol and diesel as “anti-people” on Thursday. The party said that the move will “worsen” the lives of common citizens.

In a statement, the party said that for the economy “reeling” under tough times with a delayed monsoon, this price rise will be a hard to bear.

Various units and frontal organisations of the party and its volunteers will go to the people and make people aware of the anti-people moves of the government. The recent hike in petroleum prices will surely enhance prices of essential commodities and services.

He claimed that this will have a “severe impact” on poor people because poor households spend more than half of their incomes on food. It is a chain reaction that once started, will affect all in the days to come.
