Protest Petrol Price Hike

The Polit Bureau of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) has issued the following statement: 14 December 2010

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.

Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited (BPCL) on Tuesday hiked petrol prices by about Rs. 2.96 a litre effective midnight tonight, and other state-owned oil companies Indian Oil Corporation (IOC) and Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited (HPCL) will follow suit on Wednesday.

The Oil Ministry on Tuesday gave the three companies a go-ahead to raise petrol prices after international crude oil prices touched $90 per barrel.

BPCL, the second largest fuel retailer in the country, took the lead to raise petrol prices by Rs. 2.96 a litre to Rs. 55.87 per litre in Delhi, sources privy to the decision said.

IOC, the largest fuel retailer in the country, and the HPCL will do the same by an equal measure on Wednesday, sources said.
