Mumbai: BSP chief Mayawati on Thursday asked the central government to reduce fuel prices, saying the hike was directly affecting the poor and middle class.
“The prices of petrol and diesel have gone up across the country after the recent assembly elections in five states. This is directly affecting the poor and the middle class. The central government must take necessary measures to reduce the fuel prices,” she tweeted.
देश के पाँच राज्यों में विधान सभा आमचुनाव सम्पन्न होने के बाद अब तक उत्तर प्रदेेश सहित पूरे देश में डीजल व पेट्रोल आदि के कई बार दाम बढ़ चुके हैं, जिसकी सीधी मार गरीब एवं मध्यम वर्गो पर पड़ रही है। केन्द्र सरकार इसे कम करने हेतु उचित कदम ज़रूर उठाये।
