Protest Petrol Price Hike

March 1, 2015

The Polit Bureau of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) has issued the following statement:

The prices of petrol and diesel have been increased by over Rs. 3 a litre, hours after the Union Budget imposing greater burdens on the people was presented. This is the second hike in the prices of petrol and diesel this month.

The Union Government instead of reducing the excise duty is passing the burdens on to the people.

This increase in prices of petrol and diesel is unacceptable. The Polit Bureau of the CPI(M) calls upon all its units to organise protests against this hike.

Protest Petrol Price Hike

The Polit Bureau of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) has issued the following statement:

The CPI(M) strongly condemns the sharp increase in petrol price of Rs.2.95 per litre by the oil companies. This is the fifth successive hike since deregulation of petrol prices. This is a vicious attack on the people who are already suffering from price rise and inflation.

The Congress-led government is responsible for this anti-people measure for having deregulated the prices of petrol.

The Polit Bureau of the CPI(M) calls upon all its units to launch vigorous protests by mobilizing the people against this price increase.
