Stop Price Hikes
The Polit
Bureau of the
Communist Party of India (Marxist) has issued the following
statement September
1.
THE Polit Bureau of the CPI(M) condemns
the increase
in the price of petrol by Rs 2.35 per litre.
This is the sixth increase in the price of petrol in the
last three
months. The price
of diesel has been
increased on the monthly basis of 50 paise per litre and a
steeper increase is
expected after the parliament session.
Unable to check the falling value of
the rupee, the
UPA government is resorting to successive increases in the fuel
prices. This will
only add to the burdens on the
people by stoking inflation and rising prices of all
commodities.
The Polit Bureau demands that the UPA
government stop
this ruinous policy of continuous hike in prices of petroleum
products.
