Tamil Nadu Assembly Opposition Leader Edappadi Palanisamy said, “The Central Government has reduced the price of petrol to Rs. 13 per liter and diesel to Rs. 16 per liter in two installments. However, the DMK, which had promised to reduce petrol and diesel prices, has reduced petrol prices by Rs. The election promise has not yet been fully fulfilled.
Now we have to reduce petrol and diesel prices. As the federal government has reduced, the state tax should be reduced immediately to a minimum of 10 rupees for petrol and 9 rupees for diesel. ” BJP state president Annamalai said, “We are giving the Tamil Nadu government 72 hours to reduce petrol and diesel prices. If prices are not reduced by then, we will besiege the fort. ”
