Meanwhile, the Union Petroleum Minister came out with an explanation on the fuel price hike. The minister’s explanation is in Parliament. Union Petroleum Minister HS Puri said in the Lok Sabha that India has not experienced the price hike experienced in various parts of the world.
Fuel prices in India have risen by only one-tenth as much as in other countries. Between April and March 2021, fuel prices increased by 51% in the US, 52% in Canada, 55% in Germany, 55% in France, 50% in Spain and 58% in Spain. At the same time in India it is only five per cent.

Meanwhile, the Janata Dal (United), an ally of the central government, has opposed the daily rise in fuel prices in the country. KC Tyagi, the party’s principal general secretary, demanded that the petrol price hike be withdrawn.
We request the government to reverse the increase in fuel prices, including cooking gas, in the last 15 days. The government should immediately stop inflating petrol, diesel and cooking gas.
It is important to reverse fuel price hikes as they will worsen inflation. Tyagi said inflation was also affecting voters who had helped the NDA win the election with enthusiasm.
